Took a plan from Jeff Greef Woodworking website www.geffgreefwoodworking.com and modified it to fit my needs. The wood is Thailand Padoo and the finish is sprayed urethane.

Was done mostly done by hand along with a table saw and hand held plunge router as tools are hard to find over here and I have to make do with what comes my way.

The drawers were lined with some local Thai silk material fastened with silicone mastic. The overall dimensions are about 16×16x10” deep.

Thanks for all the kind comments, you are a right friendly bunch of guys. This piece did take a while but I am never in a hurry as I have found that that just compounds the already too numerous ‘ooooops’ and ‘oh $ht’s’. I have been exploring the website and have found a lot of useful info already. Back to work, now where did I put my board stretcher????
