English Walnut, Cuta, Arrariba, and Cedar of Lebanon

This showcase cabinet is made with hand-sawn narra veneers
that display a subtle bees-wing figure. The lower cabinet has hand-cut
half-blind dovetailed drawers, double mortise and tenon rail joinery,
and adjustable shelves. The drawer and door pulls are carved from chechen
or 'black poison wood'.
The texture of the German rolled glass in the front
and sides of the upper cabinet mimics the bees-wing figure of the surrounding
narra veneers. The upper door pull is carved from wenge. Marquetry
ginkgo leaves blowing across the back panel, spill onto the lower shelf
and into the drawer bottom of the right hand drawer. Shading is done
with hot sand. Shelf and drawer ginkgo leaves have a marquetry shadow
of English walnut. A wenge waist panel separates the cabinets.
