Thread: she oak and jarrah cabinet on stand

thanks alot! appreciate it. all up i guess it took around 250-300 hours i didnt really keep a good time sheet but yeh a long time, drawers took 4 days! stand took a while to. and the wine rack took ages, so many components! i was thinking about doing all drawers where the wine rack is but didnt have time and i think it needed some negative space, would have looed to solid, would like 2 have another go at something like this as it could have been made alot better but i guess it came out ok, that black mark on veneers is a natural crack but it was consistent throughout so i thought instead of hiding it i'd highlight it so i just filled it with super glue mixed with charcoal.

Great Stuff, looks great !! How thick are the sheoak veneers??

That is a beautiful design and a great piece of work.

that is quite simply BEAUTIFUL!
I am not often lost for words but..................

Spectacular piece of work!! I am in awe!!

Cheers

Superb craftmanship and an absolutely DDG piece!!bravabrava

That end grain veneer is stunning!

thanks guys she came out ok haha, the end grain veneers are about 1.5mm was a pain to cut them though as i started with a block 100-100. wat does everyone think of the black fill in the cracks???? it was a natural defect that ran through the whole piece

well done drifit. absolutely beautiful piece

1.5 mm thick end grain sounds very fragile. You must have been very careful with them I imagine.

I like the black mark and how it repeats right across the front, adds real visual interest, to me anyway.

Was it a big decision to mirror them towards the centre as opposed to all going the same way?

Great piece of work and workmanship

no wasnt really a big decision how to lay them out how i did, the effect, (i believe) really frames the whole thing if they went the same way they would appear to be unfinished. i like this pattern best

I originally looked at this and said to myself ok.

Now that I take a closer look it does grow on you.

so didnt like at first????

Oh, Oooooh Tobes you've done me proud.
