Thread: Progress - Sapele media cabinet

    Progress - Sapele media cabinet

    Started this project in early July.

    I plan to leave the dovetails proud with a slight roundover. I may also leave the tenon wedges a bit proud as well.

    Doors will be inset with glass. Back panel will be Sapele veneer.

    Nice crisp dovetails. I should visit you for some lessons. I am still in the practice mode.

    Great start and a great intro. Love the Pekovich-ish dovetails. I also dig the old Craftsman cab-saw. Looks like a 1960's King Seeley. I really enjoy working with sapele; so many rich colors. Looking forward to tagging along.

    Finished the back panel.

    Rounded over the tenon wedges.

    I couldn't help but apply a coat of wipe-on poly just to see how it looked.

    Shout-out to Titebond liquid hide glue. Cleans up extremely easy and doesn't soak into end grain like PVA. Not sure I would have been able to leave the wedges proud without it.
