As always with your work, a stunning design. Superb.
And my head I'd be a scratchin'
While my thoughts were busy hatchin'
If I only had a brain.

Did you buy the wood or reclaimed? That looks great man! That is some incredible work.

Thank you for the kind words. The timber was purchased. The bubinga was purchased for a king size bed project that I made for the Mrs and I. The black walnut was left over from a seven foot long black walnut desk that I built for myself for my home office. I really dislike wasting perfectly good timber so leftovers from large projects often find themselves becoming boxes and other small projects. Anything to bring a little joy into someone's life. The terraced lid idea was born from sheer laziness. Looking around my shed for a suitable piece for the top I happened upon this piece of walnut. It was too thick at 3/4" (19mm) and it was raining outside which is where I do all my thickness planing. So I cut the terraces to make the top appear to be less thick than it is. That it worked is nothing more than an accident.
When all is said and done, there is usually a whole lot more said than done.
