This is inspired and to match the Hall Bench.
The material is Finish White Oak – This is quite a rare wood to get some appreciable size boards.
The customer provided me with the whole tree, which was felled in 2005 to make way for his new house, the tree was milled in May of this year and has been air drying in my shop since then.
The Hall stand is made entirely from solid wood, there is no ply or MDF panels like the original, the main panels are resawn and sequence matched to provide continuity. It measures 1800mm wide, 577 high and 457mm deep. The finish is Polyx oil (3 coats) and Fiddes wax. The fittings are all solid brass.
This part of the project took about 45 hours to complete, not including the redesign.

Wow… That turned out really nice Tony… I really like the grain on this one, even better than the hall tree.. Looks like it is going to be a great hiding place!!!!

I like this one Tony.
The grain suits the piece very well.
You were fortunate to get 4 cathedrals to match that well.
Cheers
