Dining unit & and superbunny is back
Hi all, as some of you know I’ve been building my new home in Tasmania over the last 4 years and that means no woodwork projects. Well I've almost finished the building now and swmbo wants a dining cabinet with drawers installed under stairs where we have a vacant space like the picture below. I’ve got the frame all done and now working on the draws. I'm thinking of doing a little bit of inlay in the cabinet doors but not the drawer fronts. The timber is Tas Oak match the house timber finishing. It's nice to get back in the workshop again.

Thanks burraboy, nasty auto corrector I just didn’t notice. Well some more progress, got the drawers finished with dovetails, all done on my D4pro, yes I know I used a machine to do them but as try as hard as I can I just don’t quite get there. Anyhow, we all know from a few year’s ago the big test that someone did on this forum on hand made v machine made and most got it wrong and only a few could tell the difference if I remember rightfully. I'll be starting on the doors next and then the top. Enjoy
I did upload the first picture the right way up but it came out upside down. I then saved a copy in my pictures file with it upside down and reloaded it but it still came out upside down so I gave up😂Power corrupts, absolute power means we can run a hell of alot of power tools

Right, we have the doors almost completed now and done the string and berry inlay, it just needs a sand. I didn’t know just how hard Tas Oak is to do inlay work, it's much harder than Silky Oak I’ve used in Queensland before and you really have to be careful you don’t slip or it's good night Vienna and start all over again. Next I'm onto completing the top and this also will have some inlay. I must admit this string and berry inlay is very satisfying when it all comes together I feel like I have had a good day in the workshop. Enjoy

Well I've had a little more time on my hands and got stuck into the top. SWMBO said keep it simple as she did not want it to detract from the room so I decided on a simple string around the outside. I've used Vic Ash for the string to subtly contrast with the Tas Oak. I will start over the weekend put it all together after a poly sprayed finish for a durable surface. Enjoy.

Now it's all finished accepting fixing to the wall, a little gap filling and fitting the red felt in the drawers, enjoy.

Hi SB. Lovely unit. I always thought Vic Ash and Tas Oak were the same thing. But your inlay is definitely contrasting with the timber used on the top. Do you know the which Eucalyptus is used for which?

I don’t know to be honest, all I know is I purchased the vic ash as white vic ash in Brisbane some years ago and sold to me by a specialty timber merchant. And tas oak is a common timber And refers to the hardwood produced by three trees: Eucalyptus regnans, Eucalyptus obliqua or Eucalyptus delegatensis. Whereas, vic ash refers to the hardwood produced by two species – Eucalyptus regnans and Eucalyptus delegatensis when sourced from Victoria. This is according to google but I understand there’s more to it when you come into the world of veneers. The three berries are red gum.
