Pin oak and some red oak.


Dark Walnut stain


Green felt


3 coats of Marine Varnish


Two wax jobs


Picture #2 shows how I made the clips to hold the Lexan


Picture #3 is the open slanted front. The green felted floor is removable for hidden storage.

Gene, he is going to love it. That looks so neat. I love the slant window/door. A really nice job, very good craftsmanship. A true heirloom piece..



Thanks so much for posting the picture here and sharing it with us.

Gene,


Beautiful design and workmanship!  Is that your own design?

Thanks for the nice comments, folks.


SQ, not my design. Came from Popular Mechanics and was picked out by my son. 


The plans and instructions are horrible. A great many of the measurements are incorrect.

Really, really nice Gene!  Is the felt solid or flocked?

Thanks, Ron.


The felt is real, and thick, too. Found it at an upholstery shop in Tucson.

Hate to ask,

But was the third time around the charm for the Lexan?

Yep, third time, but it was just the little slanting door. 


I'm keeping that piece of Lexan as a reminder.
