Looks fantastic Mark great job. Your dovetails are head and shoulders above mine so show them off with pride. Love the contrasting wood wonderful touch showing that it is handcrafted

Thanks Guys.
I suppose we are critical of our own work.Still a lot of improvement needed.
I’m a carpenter by trade but the precision needed for this type of work another level.
This is the sort of thing I have always wanted todo since I was a boy of 14.
When I was 16 I tried to get into London college of furniture. I was told I was I was not academic enough for corse. I tried again next year but told more or less the same thing. I worked in an upholstery factory for a few months hopping they would put me into college. They said I would have to wait anther year. So I left to do a city and guild in Carpentry and joinery. Ended up in the building trade and became a jack of all trades but master of none.
So the start of this year decided that I would try and spend as much time todo what I have always wanted todo.
The problem is I do not get that much time. 🙁
