sewing desk
All,
My wife is a quilter and she has sewing machines like I have saws. She recently requested that I replace her grandmother's sewing table with something a bit bigger, and with better storage. Unlike a seamstress, quilters generally work with the a sewing surface in the same plane as the surrounding table area, hence the "pocket" in the top. Hopefully when she upgrades, I'll be able to just make new mating throat plate. The wood is cherry with maple drawer slides, ash drawer guides and plywood bottoms. Not only are the drawer heights graduated but the side thickness and knob diameter subtlely increase as well. Tails were cut by hand, with power "assist" to hog out waste. Knobs, legs/feet were turned on my Jet 1442. The finish is Zinzer Sealcoat (shellac) followed by Waterlox Original. Thanks for looking, Steve |

Very nice and I can't help but notice the spalted wood in the background.

That is very nice, everything fits together really well /Hiding this post now before my wife sees it -- If you're going to be dumb, you better be tough |
