Thanks: the plans for this are available from an old issue of FWW. I have his recent book, but I am embarrassed to admit that I have not gotten to it yet!

Thanks! Unfortunately I could not capture the chatoyance with the camera: it is all curly cherry and when the light is just right it really shows well.

Beautiful work and beautiful wood, Phil! The top figure with the exposed dovetails is stunning.

Hope all is well, neighbor.

Thanks Kevin. You are probably amazed that I finally got this out of the shop!
We are all still healthy here: for now.

Beautiful work, including the wood selection and grain orientation. Stunning.
