using really nice timbers. I've had the jarrah flame panel cut and sealed for several years , waiting for the right piece to use it on.
A while ago , I came across a piece of "silver ash" that I bought many years ago . Just bandsawn and filthy , it was still clear that the grain was full of fiddleback or curl . It turns out to be bumpy satinash which is a local rainforest timber with flowers that emerge from the bark of the trunk. Quite a lot denser than silver ash with some extremely fine feathing in the grain.
Combining the two and using Jarrah for the feet , lift and hinges ; this is the end result. The lower interior is lined in Spanish cedar and with the lipped lid , will make an ideal day humidor .
