To enhance this week's glue-ups, I've selected Honduran mahogany off-cut medallion squares, each topped with a layer of complementary beige mat board.

The frame and panel doors and cabinet backs make their appearance in the woodworking studio.

This week it's time to wrap up the cabinet bottom and begin building upwards.

The foundation for the mahogany buffet is beginning to take shape. Finally, some work with solid wood.

This week the cabinet bottom begins to take shape...

After nearly five years, Serenity has finally found a permanent home in Wisconsin.

The story continues to be written on the mahogany buffet cabinet as preparation of the substrates nears completion and application of the veneers begins.

This week in the woodworking studio, we take a look at getting the mahogany buffet panels ready for veneering.

I'm afraid I miscounted the panels for you in an earlier blog post. There aren't 17, but rather 20 veneered panels in this piece. So, panel cores, here we go.

The 75 board foot plank of Honduran mahogany takes its turn at the saw.

Time to begin catching up with my blogging and formally introduce the next piece.

I'm pleased to present this final report for the making of "Armchair 2". This week I'm applying the finish and wrapping the seat.

One of the most interesting parts of making a chair is the arms. This week I shape and assemble both arms to complete the chair assembly.

As the black walnut chair wraps up, a new buffet project ramps up. Here's a preview of some of the materials I'll be using for my next piece.

If there is only one part in the back of a chair, is it still called a crest rail? Whatever it's called, this is how I made it.

It's beginning to look like a chair.

Chair 2 gets more legs.

Preparations are underway for the first glue-up of Chair 2.

This week as the chair making journey continues, the rough milled parts are beginning to take shape in the back assembly.

It's time to make templates and start hunting for parts as the chair making journey continues.
