I designed this piece to be dynamic while trying to maintain a certain element of elegance. The piece is veneered with shop sawn mahogany and western maple. The s-curves are tapered bent laminations, and joined to the shelves with scribed half laps. Captured and applied edge banding is also also bent lamination.

The door to the cabinet uses bent lamination rails and solid stiles and mullion. The frame is joined with a bridle joint. The door is hung on hand made brass L hinges. There is a false bottom on the interior of the cabinet to raise the floor to the top of the bottom rail. There is one flat piece of glass and one that has been slumped to a 5 in radius.

There are three drawers with hand cut dovetails. The drawer sides and pockets have planed in let-go (subly letting the user know when the drawer run stops). The Port Orford Cedar drawer bottoms add a wonderful aroma.

|
The cabinet is doweled and the drawer partitions and pockets are splined. There are three separate set in back panels.
|
|
The pulls are hand carved manzanita burl and attached with live tennons. The entire piece is finished with super blonde shellac and Goddard's Wax.
