Sometimes the wood tells you what to make out of it. I came across a single board of Vertical Grain Douglas Fir that had a highly unusual grain pattern. I instantly thought about a Lady's vanity table.
This was built as a gift for my wife. I was fortunate enough to find some highly figured mahogany to create the carcase with as well.
The design is in the Federal Style, but I combined several elements that I liked into a (hopefully) unified whole.
"I live in NJ, and wish there was a physical store near where I live. My experience with rockler.com is second to none. Not only are your products first rate, but customer service/product support is exceptional. I've called several times, and never received someone on the other end of the phone who was anything but extremely helpful, patient, and friendly. The biggest compliment I can give is that I TRUST Rockler for all my woodworking needs. The only other store I can say that about is LL Bean. My wood working friends in western NJ love Rockler. Keep on keepin' on - and get a store here in Jersey!!" -
