This valet was made from cherry and mahogany. I love the way these two similarly colored woods compliment each others reddish tones.
This valet has corner posts and a raised panel in the center of the lid made of mahogany, and sides and lid frame of cherry. The hinges are shaped cherry dowels, and brass washers are used as spacers to keep the lid fitting snugly. The lid lift is also mahogany.
The interior bottom is covered with vinyl. I chose vinyl over leather because as a synthetic it is more humane. I designed this box so that the bottom liner can be easily removed and replaced if torn or worn.
I used Danish Oil as a finish, and then hand polished the exterior with wax for a natural, semi-gloss sheen that really allows the wood grain and colors to stand out!
The valet measures 3.5 inches high, 11 inches across the front, and 8.25 inches on the sides.
Thanks for looking!
