This is a copy (with modifications to suit my skill level and pocketbook) of the cover project of Fine Woodworking issue 203 February 2009. All red oak stained ‘red oak’ and ‘golden oak’ for the contrast. The drawer is made of poplar with unfinished aromatic cedar as the bottom. Completely finished with several coats of shelac and denatured alcohol.
Much thanks to Peter Turner for his inspiration, design and assistance.

I like the way the two woods look like one. I bet it smells great too. Nice job, put it to good use.
