Hi Tim,

Beautiful piece! Love the contrast between the bubinga and bird’s eye maple. What are the pulls made of? Nice to see another Sacramento Area LJ. I am just up the street in Folsom. Great Work.

Thanks one and all for the kind words. Pictures hide alot of mistakes.

BFD… since you are so close perhaps we can get together sometime? I’m near Madison & Main up the hill from Lake Natoma.

I have many questions but one in particular is about sanding grits. Oftentimes I’ve seen videos and articles instructing to only sand up to 180 or 220. On this piece I went ahead and sanded the show surfaces to 400 and the finish came out great, better than the areas that were sanded to 180/220. So what gives?

Many thanks for the kinds words…

Great job. The contrast in wood you chose was a great choice.

Terrific design and craftsmanship Tim. I really like this a lot.

Beautiful piece. The choice of woods is excellent, and the base is just fantastic.

In over your head?

I think not. Maybe you were just bent over.

Fantastic.

I was going to say that you appear to be head and shoulders above the class. But I would be a fool to try and out pun Lee.

Beautiful work newTim. I’ll be checking these projects. I’m sure you’ll have some things to show us.

I liked this so much that I showed it to my wife whose eyes roll up and to the right whenever I try to show her something on LJ’s. But this time she ooohed and ahhhed, she really liked it. Thanks!

Very nice project, my wife has asked me to build a Jewelry Armoire and I really like your design. What kind of finish did you use. I know bubinga doesn’t need much as I just finished something with it myself.

I used one coat of General Finishes’ Seal-A-Cell and a few top coats of their Gel Stain (clear). Bubinga is great to work. I sanded it to 400 or so and it came out great. The Gel Stain feels waxy and is easier to apply than the regular Top Coat.

I’m going to need to make one of these for myself. Its Gorgeous. I like the red with the maple. I had ben thinking of doing a walnut with maple but that plan is changing now.
