Project Information

This is my latest project. It's my first attempt at an art deco design.

It's made from Mahogany with Maple accents. It's about 9" wide, 7" deep and 5" tall with crushed velvet
on the inside. The finish is my standard dye and satin poly.

The 3rd picture shows the grill in the front. I started with a flat piece of stock and used the table saw
to cut the cove. Then filpped it over and ran the saw up from the bottom to cut the slots for the maple.
Lastly cut the curve on the bandsaw.

The cut for the inlay banding on the base and top were done by standing the piece up on edge and cutting on the tablesaw.

Gary,
I absolutely love it. I really like most things art deco. The grill on the front reminds me of the many cool automobile grills and hood ornaments from that time period. Thank you for sharing. You are an inspiration.
