This one was a head scratcher! Built out of #2 white oak. The front radius is 63 1/2" the two ends have a 13 1/2" radius. Radius moldings and radius twisted moldings that were hand scratched using the shaper knife in a jig. The big cove mold at the top is brick layed and then hand shaped. The rails and base were also brick layed and then skinned with 1/16" thick material. Around 350 build hours in this one.

I'd rather be covered in sawdust

That is another amazing feat of woodworking and one that would leave most mortal woodworkers wondering how you did it. I am a big fan of your work and this is another exceptional piece.
