The African mahogany blanks for Mrs Boss Christmas presents arrived today. It's kiln dried and has about 5% moisture. I'll update this thread as work progresses. https://www.wood-database.com/african-mahogany/ https://www.cookwoods.com/collections/bowl-blanks .40

The interior of the liquor cabinet was in need of another coat so we spent the day pulling everything out and putting a coat of oil on. Everything in there needed a wash also. Paul

Got a chance to mount a small block of mahogany on the new lathe and also glue up a larger platter. So far so good on the lathe. As usual compared to the Shopsmith it is very high. It’s solid as a rock and seems to function well. Having the ability to go down to 25 rpm is interesting when applying finish. There is absolutely no vibration. One drawback is that all my faceplates won’t work and Grizzly seems to be out of their 6” faceplates. Also my G3 chuck needs an adapter which is two weeks away. I did get a faceplate from Maxwood but it takes a 1/4” spacer to work on this lathe and it is also two weeks out. So for now no chuck and one faceplate. Paul

While we are waiting for the glass to arrive which will complete the liquor cabinet I started the next project which is a cabinet for the wine fridge. It is a fairly straight forward cover and I will be using African mahogany with some brass inlay on the legs. The brass is 1/4” square brass stock set into a 1/4” routered groove. Paul

I made this in my tiny little shop (man, I’d really LOVE to have a window). Two are #4 hard maple shaker boxes with African mahogany tops. Also made two #3 shaker boxes from walnut with butternut tops. Hit them with some natural danish oil and after they dry for about 3 days or so, I’ll shoot them with about 4 coats of a satin poly. The hardest part for me is milling the stock to 1/16th of an inch....I seen to be able to get a better result on my table saw instead of the bandsaw....anyhow, I hope all youse guys are staying safe and healthy! I can’t wait until this comes to an end.

The face frame and raised panel door are to be made of either African mahogany or Sapele. What's the difference between the two. Is one or the other easier to work with? More stable ect? I'll be doing my own stock prep.
