This is a birthday wish from my daughter for something "dad made"

Maple onlays are by Osborne Wood Products,upholstery by "Solutions",Birmingham Ala. Upholstery is all leather

 All wood is from 5/4 Sepele (African Mahogany) including the upholstery buttons which are hand turned. Three coats satin polyurathane. Nothing fancy,just the basics.


Design or Plan used: My own design - Charles Baswell
