Latest piece completed
This one was started before the tsunami hope chest and was basically to get my head in the right place to tackle the hope chest .
The case was made from a piece of 10" x 10" Queensland maple crotch that I'd acquired many years ago . Plenty of bandsaw work in this one with a compound serpentine shape to both the front and rear . The side panels are also curved . The top has been lathe turned to a serpentine profile . The inlaid pulls are river redgum and the internals are red cedar. The divided drawers have been flocked .
Currently working on a backgammon set with bookmatched jarrah burl panels , so if the weather hold out , should be finished next week .
Cheers,
Dave

With that much figure in the photo the real thing must be stunning.

That is awe insipring!!! If it wasn't 11.40pm I would be down in the workshop with the all the tools going trying to imagine that I have the skill to create such a piece.
I am really impressed!!!
Different, don't grab the matches just yet. Take this as a reminder that there are some very special craftspeople on this forum and not just those who like playing with their computers and talking techie gear.
Anyhow I had better sign off as I have a 2.5hr drive in the morning to the Mullimbimby Woodworks Auction.
Cheers Tom

Wow. I can't even begin to get my head around tackling something like that. (And it's even a woodhead.) Looking at your work I feel like I'm on the outside looking in to a different realm of woodworking. Just awesome. How did you learn to do such amazing work?
