I built this cabinet for a friend who collects Stickley, but couldn’t find a piece to fit a specific location in her office to serve as a printer stand. It was my first project where I started with rough lumber and went all the way through the process of milling, edge gluing to create wider stock and all the other steps in producing the piece. I think the most interesting part of the process was researching and implementing the process of ammonia fuming the quarter sawn white oak to create a piece that would blend perfectly with the antique pieces that my friend already owned.

I actually built a light weight box of plywood strips as a frame wrapped in heavy duty painter’s plastic. I taped up all the seems with packing tape. Worked out great!

Thanks everybody!!! I really love working with this qs white oak and I have some more pieces planned as soon as warm weather comes and I can do more fuming. Industrial strength ammonia is some VERY nasty stuff and I would never try fuming indoors.

Keith – where did you get the Industrial ammonia?

I get my ammonia (29.4%) from the local blue print supply store. Shouldn’t be too hard to track down, but it seems no one has ever heard of the stuff except blue printers these days! It’s cheap too. I’ll warn again though that this stuff is SUPER nasty to work with. I recommmend a full-face resipirator with filters designed for ammonia. Good luck!
