Here you go.Hot off the bench. Probably about 60 hours in the making.
Made with hand tools only and my spring pole lathe. Finish with trants tint amber, reddish brown, dewaxed shellac, mahogany gelstain, seedlac shellac and denatured alcohol and wax. Hope to use this same finish on the mahogany bed which will be next. Thanks for looking.More photosin the gallery.
