"Shoji" cabinet
I just finished this cabinet in cherry. It is already full of woodworking books and others. The wood is from a large cherry tree I felled 3 years ago. I got very nice planks for the top.
The design is copied from a Seth Janofsky design, in a Krenov book (With Wakened Hands), except I used shoji paper for the doors instead of cedar.

Finished desk in Elm
I just finished this desk in Elm for a friend. I bought the wood in Italy, it has a wonderful color and grain. Since the boards were 8cm thick (more than 3 inches), it took me a lot of work to resaw and bring to thickness.
It is composed of a table, and a chest of drawers. The table top has 2 parts joined at a right angle with a miter, reinforced with butterfly keys.
The chest has 4 drawers of progressive heights, assembled with dovetails.
The back of the chest and the drawer bottoms are cedar.
