Projects that opened up June









Pictured is a coffee table with a glass top. There is a display bin under the table top for showing off collectibles. Although the table itself was inspired by the Arts and Crafts style it was the result of bits and pieces that have collected in the shop. The base is mahogany stained maple finished in oil and shellac. The rim around the glass is a pine stair banister finished in the same way with the addition of two coats of polyurethane for durability.

The above cigar humidor is 10" X 10" X 6" and is made from black limba, red oak and mahogeny. You can see that the base is dovetailed on the corners and I have lined the case with spanish cedar. The outside is finished in hand rubbed oil and shellac followed up with hand rubbed wax.
