I show the process I used to make a birthday gift for a friend. A sushi serving tray, chopsticks and chopstick rests made from Cherry, Sapele and Black Walnut.

Today I did some mortise and tenon joinery for a frame and panel construction bathroom vanity. It is made from sapele. I used a mix of machines and handtools to get solid joinery.

I show my process of cutting rough sawn boards to length and width and then how I use hand tools to get a reference face and edge on each part.

These parts are for a frame and panel style bathroom vanity made from solid Sapele and Baltic Birch Ply.

Delivery Day!

This bobbin-legged table was commissioned to fill an unused corner in a bedroom and be used as a small dresser. It is based on a design from circa 1890 that the client found and liked.

Table frame, apron, top and legs is solid Sapele mahogany, the drawers sides is Cherry and the drawer’s bottom and back is Japanese cedar. The sides are attached to the front using hand-cut half blind dovetails and the back is attached using shop made wooden pins. I used an oil and wax finish for this piece.

This was a fun piece to make!
