Shell Casing Display
Furnished content.
(from Lumberjocks.com)
 A friend of mine is getting married in Hawaii in a couple months and I he keeps on talking about a shell display so I thought I make him one as a gift. We planned to go but he will receive this before so he has less to bring back.
The gun is made of ash. I originally thought of blackening it to make it look like a silhouette but liked how the ash showed up. Holes were drilled around the perimeter and then around the gun portion. Added his initials for the personnel effect.
I hope he likes it.It's about 16'' across 8 1/2'' high and 1 5/8'' thick. The walnut is left over from my son's wedding. LOL.
Finished with spar urethane. I may buff it out later.
Tanks for looking.

Art Deco design cabinet
Furnished content.
(from Lumberjocks.com)
 Thought you might like to see this cabinet I've just made. The doors are Bubinga and figured Sycamore Veneer and the cabinet outside is Bubinga veneer, all the inside is crown cut Sycamore veneer. I used solid Bubinga to edge the doors and for the base. The doors were the hardest part to do and took quiet a while to cut all the pieces, when it was ready it was all glued down to 18mm MR MDF ( moisture resistant) in a vacuum bag press. For a finish I used several coats of spray lacquer and then rubbed on some beeswax polish using 0000 steel wool and buffed it off leaving a nice finish that's not too glossy.
Thanks
Alan
