A couple of finer made pieces of furniture.
A tall oak glassware display cabinet
Made in quarter sawn oak, this cabinet stands at over six feet tall and is fitted with toughened glass shelving and glazing. The doors are made with slim glazing bars & framing which allow a clear open view of the contents. Finished and coloured to give a traditional warm appearance, the medullary rays, 'tiger striping' of the quarter sawn oak are shown off to good effect. Fitted with quality brassware from Optimum Brasses and remotely operated hidden LED lighting.
A John Channon inspired cabinet
A large oak / walnut cabinet based on a John Channon piece made in 1780. The customer wanted this made using traditional methods, solid oak was used for all the panels which were then veneered in wild French walnut. All of the cross grained mouldings, glazing bars and pediment components are made in solid walnut. The whole was then traditionally French polished and finally waxed.
The design was a coalition of ideas between myself and the customer. An enjoyable and challenging project.
