Jarrah Sideboard from Scott Horsburgh Fine Furniture.
This is a jarrah for door, four drawer sideboard which I made to produce six new dvd's covering some specific aspects of fine cabinet making. I have mentioned these in the Announcement section of this Forum Website.
The void in the middle is for a large serving tray or anything else that is too large to fit inside the carcass.
All of the panels are veneered as are the doors. The drawer sides and drawer backs are huon pine. The drawer bottoms are celery top pine. Drawer slips are made from English brown oak. The door and drawer handles are Brazilian pupleheart - I really enjoy the subtle contrast in colour with the jarrah.
The inside of the carcass is veneered in white birch so that it is nice and bright inside when you open up the doors.
It was a lot of fun to make. I currently have 29 articles on my website about the making of this piece and you can access them all for free by becoming a member. becoming a member is also free.
I am currently making a Sam Maloof iconic rocking chair from American Black Walnut - a very challenging piece.

Very nice work!
I was thinking of buying some of your DVDs last year after seeing your ad in the AWR. I think I might look at getting one or two in the near future.
What finish did you use on this project?

Hi Andy,
The choice of finish is always a tough decision. I hand rubbed Carnauba Polish until my arms ached. I wanted something reasonably hard wearing. I finsihed as I made so as to ensure I could come cleanly off ends rather than into tight corners after glue-ups.
Thanks for the nice feedback.

Hi..
At the expense of sounding judgmental..
Should the veneer on the draw fronts been kept running vertical ?..
And the draw fronts above the draws cut from the same board as to match the doors beneath ?..
I would have been dragged over the coals as an apprentice if I had done otherwise !!!

Hi Strom,
Your message is confusing. I mentioned that all of the panels were veneered, including the doors. The drawer fronts are solid and are cut from the same board to ensure continuity of grain and colour.
I have never seen drawer front grain running vertically even if it were veneered.
I was not concerned about the drawer fronts exactly matching the colour of the doors. I like the colour variation. It adds interest to the piece.

If the drawer fronts had been veneered then the grain could have been run Strom's way, but I think the unit looks better the way it is .
Terrific looking sideboard.I've just become an optimist . Iv'e made a 25 year plan -oopps I've had a few birthdays - better make that a 20 year plan
