free to do so.
The narrow front face
is inlayed with
quarter sawn figured sycamore. The
legs taper on the inside faces only and
include delicate curved brackets at the
top. There is many hours of work and
concentration in making a piece to this
standard. The price could never reflect
a true amount of time spent.

Walnut
Cabinet
The timber this cabinet
is made from has a interesting story, the butt of the walnut tree had been
lying in a
walled garden of a neighboring farm for many years
untouched. I only found out about it when the previous owner of the farm
who is a friend happened
to mention that it may still be there. I made arrangements with the new
owner of the property and
acquired what was left. The outer sap wood had
almost all rotted away but the heartwood was in
reasonable condition and suitable for use. After
sawing and seasoning there wasn't a huge amount
left but sufficient to make the owner a kist and myself
this cabinet. The timber shows all the characteristics of Native Walnut
including bold grain pattern, dark
brown and black streaks, and the occasional piece of
Light cream colored sap wood. A lovely timber
to work and finish.
Burr
Oak is used in the top lipping and door handle .The paneled sides incorporate
a bolection mold. The front has fluted pilasters and a fielded walnut panel,
