Here is the little sideboard that goes with the larger Wenge Armoire. I think I would be happy if I never touch wenge again in my life!!! :)

By the way, it looks like you could use a few more clamps. :-)

Well, several problems with wenge. Its very heavy and dense. Its tough on the tools. It produces a dust that actually hurts when it hits your skin. Makes you realize how far your tablesaw kicks those particles. It will give you hundreds of splinters of all sizes. From ones that hurt like hell to ones that you dont even realize are there. And finally, the dust is more like dirt than dust. You will come in the house looking like you’ve been diggin’ ditches all day. Other than that, its an absolute blast! ;)

Frank nailed it, lol. It actually does look like some kind of vault! That’s funny.

From what I understand, the client has lots of unique furniture items and this one just adds to the collection. I doubt they have a lot of stainless steel furniture though.

Ok. I did like the armoire, although my first thought was a refrigerator… this looks like gym lockers to me and not as appealing.
but the workmanship is wonderful and if the client loves it then it is perfect
