The cabinet is made of Black Wattle... left over from another job.
The door frames are Aust Rosewood and the bookmatched panels are Aust White Cedar which I found I had tucked away but had forgotten about

The finish is spar varnish, 7 coats and was hand rubbed.... every bloody coat!! In fact as I recall this was the piece that tipped me over the edge & I went got myself a spray outfit after that.

Right, you are insane.

I looked at your Leigh Jig cabinet first, and it's a beautiful piece of work, and I love that little bit of birds eyed timber across the top(what is it BTW?), but I wasn't to supprised to find it was headed for the shed after I saw the bench you made for your FIL.

But this ones crazy, truly a supprise, I was sure you were joking when you said you missed your drill/router cabinet.

So now you'll have to post pictures of all your projects....please?

Very impressed.

How long have you been a WW?
