Latest Project - Arachnoid Chest Latest Project - Arachnoid Chest Latest Project - Arachnoid Chest Click the pictures to enlarge them

I just completed this a couple of days ago. This chest is mostly jatoba with quilted maple doors, wenge handles and ebony drawer pulls. There were a couple of “firsts” for me on this project. The my first use of knife hinges. These were surprisingly easy to install. It was also the first use of my Leigh jig. Lots of fun.

Comments welcome.

that is a very cool cabinet, nice work!
I have a leigh jig. I really need to practice using it more, it’s a shame how much dust it collects…
This cabinet is definately inspiring.

molarman is that your own design? If so how did you come up with the poportions of the legs? The cabinet looks great, the legs were the first thing to catch my eye. Once again beautiful work.

This is a very nice piece. Maple and cherry are my favorite combinations. The wenge handles and ebony pulls add nice contrasts to the piece as well.

How did you finish it?

I like it! There are a lot of unique features to this table that make it stand out. I think the term ‘eye catching’ has already been used but it’s worth repeat’n. Great Job, thanks for sharing.

Excellent. From the thumbnails I thought it was bigger. When I opened it I noticed the glasses on top. I like it better smaller.

I’m examining those pictures for construction details, because it’s a beautiful piece that I want to learn from, but I also find it oddly creepy, like if I were stumbling to the bathroom in the middle of the night and bumped into it I’d beat the everloving daylights out of it because it just weirds me out in some primal way…

Gorgeous, but my own tastes would require something slightly less spidery for that leg curve… But I guess great craft and a strong emotional statement pretty much defines good art.

Simply magnificient design and I am so happy that you referenced the size with your spectacles : ) I also thought that it was a much larger piece and was wondering how those legs would hold up over time , but as a small box / chest / artform / eyecandy , it should do just fine…Love your wood choices on this one and the finish looks great as well .

Nice cabinet The proportions are really decieving…if you hadn’t placed the glasses in the pic, I would have assumed it was much larger.

What was your choice of finish?
