Now that the weather has turned cold I get to spend some time in the shop. Here's a couple frames I whipped up to knock off the cobwebs. Now on to some more challenging stuff.
Makore (African Cherry) with rosewood pegs. Half Lap construction. A little Greene and Greene influence.
Mahogany stain and Garnet Shellac + paste wax.

QSWO with M&T Construction. Oak Pegs. Reddish Brown Trans-Tint Dye + Chestnut Stain. Garnet Shellac and Paste Wax.
A couple warts that didn't show up until the finishing was done (ain't that always the way?) but all in all it turned out decent.
