Thread: Tender Cabinet - Tasmanian Myrtle

It has taken a while but the cabinet is finally finished.

It took five attempts to get to get the three locks and them they weren't identical.

The myrtle and huon look good together.

I think I will give the top another couple of coats of finish for extra protection then it should be fine for general use.

Beautiful work Scally.

Lovely job Scally/ Hope you charged them heaps for it, get some of that BoM money that's around.

Mighty fine job there Scally you've really shown off that Huon.

Thanks fellas.

I like the way these timbers look when they are finished.

I looked at the Surian cedar veneered ply panel again and it looks pretty dull compared to the Huon. It justifies the extra cost of the better pieces of timber.

My charges are modest , Alex, but they will put a nice dent in the cost of the Domino and I will enjoy seeing it each day when I go into the office.

Cheers

I took the tender cabinet in to the office.

Several suggestions about bolting it to the wall.

They wanted it labeled so people knew what it was. This is what I came up with.

It is a sticky transfer. The sign place were hesitant about it sticking to timber with an oil finish but so far it is Ok.

I like the Black lettering on the Myrtle.
I almost got it centered??


Now, the first thing I see when I come in the office door is my Huon panel.

That is a good start to the working day.

Great result Scally. Have you considered laser engraving if the transfer won't stick?

If you get a chance to see inside the Leeton office, there used to be some nice old carved furniture in the RD's office. Part of the history of the organisation, like yours will hopefully become.

Wow that is beautiful.

Lovely work Scally.
Well done.

Thanks, I am happy with the result.

I ummed and r'ed about the label. Brass with black engraving would have been OK.
This seemed the least destructive and least risky.

Lazer engraving sounds good. I never thought of that. Thanks Alex. I will keep it in mind if the letters start peeling.

A few years ago I came across the plans for the original WC&IC office in Leeton. Beautiful measured drawings on the board room with furniture.

I will see if I can organise a meeting in Leeton soon!

That looks really good Scally, real good.

Thanks Boban.
Good to hear from you.

I have to move house in July and the benchtop that I made from your blue gum will be a big test.

Cheers
