I was consigned to do this piece for some friends of mine. The main case is oak and the trim and miter keys are zebrawood. I liked the flatsawn figure of the zebrawood and used the natural warp of the board to my advantage, splaying the two bookmatched stiles upwards and outwards. The shelve’s trim are quartersawn from the same piece.

The finish is linseed oil, then three thinned coats of polyurethane, then Trewax

The unit measures approximately 18×32x4”. It is hung with a french cleat.

Hi Dusty,

This is a nice piece and your finish looks good. The zebrawood adds a nice detail to the oak as do the miter keys. Using a french cleat sure beats drilling though the front of the case (and hoping you don’t miss the stud). The case looks like it hangs pretty tight was well.

Thanks for the post.

Very nice. I like the zebra wood, it add just enough accent.

Nice job using that natural feature, Scott.
Make sure and embed a shot of the shelving with the collection installed if you are able. It would be fun to see.

excellent…I like the ‘ears’ on the front of it…and the assemblage…it’s unique and challenging and definitely not something one would find in a store…

Thanks for all the positive comments, fellow Lumberjocks. My friends put it up and already have it filled. So, as Doug requested here is an updated photo.
