I was asked to build this for a friend of mine. The shelves store a few of his rifles in locked boxes, and a smaler ammo shelf as well. The top is where he can clean his guns if he likes.
It is all maple, the top is rock maple, legs and aprons are curly, and the shelves are just soft maple.
All finished with BLO and wipe on Poly. The photos don’t do the figured wood justice.
I know the design is very straight lines and simple, but thats exactly how he wanted it. I like it too, but I understand it’s certainly not to everyone’s taste.

Stright, simple, and functional is sometimes the best design. Great job!

Nice workbench also. The grain design on the top makes it more interesting.

I like it – looks great. should be plenty stout. The grain gives it character.

Really nice job, I agree with the previous comments. I think it was Leonardo DaVinci who said “Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication”
