This silver chest is my first case-piece and my first real attempt at furniture making. It enabled me to design, join, carve, inlay, cut dovetails, and finish (shellac).  I guess getting laid-off is not such a bad thing after all...  Bubinga drawer fronts, mahogany case, quilted maple oval inlay.

Bubinga is such great stuff. You really show cased it by using it as drawer fronts.
Contrast without going over the top. I wouldn't change a thing.
I too will look for more of your work.
