It’s been a busy summer here and as usual time passes faster than we can keep up with but we have been busy in the shop as well as the many outdoor activities.
We started this project as a gift for Christmas to our LOML and since we enjoy building period furniture it fit’s our home interior as well as our endeavors to progress our woodworking techniques.
Since we had several hundred board feet of Cherry in stock we decided on it as the primary lumber with Maple used for Drawers and poplar as secondary structure components. We picked the design of Glen Huey as it fit our capabilities and with plenty of storage to suit those daily writing tasks.
Finishing was done in oil rubbed in several coats and a top coat of Satin Lacquer.
Further details of the construction can be found here-
