This was a wedding gift for my brother and new sister-in-law. It is made from local black walnut.

Finish:
- 2 coats BLO
- 8 coats 1lb cut Shellac
- 2 coats Renwax

Prop hinge, main piano hinge and cedar lining were purchased from Rockler.

Sorry the pictures are kind of washed out.

Second row down on the right. It was such a beautiful and simple design, I couldn’t pass it up!
