Hi to all -
Have not been around the board too much -
Life has been pretty busy -
Very nice to see "d in c" back.
Pictures of a wall cabinet -
designed for cd/dvds, but the
shelves are adjustable - so
could accomodate most anything.
Cabinet is
32" tall,
15" across, and
6" deep at the side walls.
Main body and door is
African Mahogany.
The bird is Marquetry - which is
cutting-in the colored wood
into a veneer that is the same thickness
no physical 3d carving - just some
hot sand shading to make it look 3 dimensional.
The bird is mostly
Bocote,
Myrtle,
Osage Orange, &
Gabon Ebony.
The branch is
Makore,
Berries Pernambuco,
leaves Poplar.
The white border is German Maple.
I built a wood form for vacuum pressing.
I have not tried making a form from styrofoam -
but it is on the list to play with.
Have not seen Darryl Keil's video, on
veneering curves, yet.
Have heard good things about it.
The door was made by
vacuum pressing 5 layers of
1/8 bending ply to form the core.
Once the veneers & marquetry were done
it was pressed again.
Finish is the usual
shellac,
polished, and
wax
Thanks for looking
Jerry
