    Very nice! Is any of that hardwood plywood, or is it all solid wood?

    Thanks to all who took the time to respond. Yes, I used a dye to help accentuate the figure instead of stain. I didn't take to many pics of the build, but will next time.

    As others have said, Michael, it's a beautiful piece. I love the brasses...Londonderry? Did you polish them at all?

    also, did you install locks or are those false keyholes?

    Thank you. The brasses came from Horton brass and the keyholes aren't real. I didn't polish the hardware, but ordered it with that level of polish. Check out their site and you'll see what I mean.

    Regards

    Mike- I used to work in an excellent pro shop, one of the best around, that did work like that and I can tell you that your piece would meet their standards with no problem. Fine work.
