Made from old oak floorboards, an old saw and an old leather sofa with iroko and cherry scraps providing the buttons and plug. Finished with 5 coats of shellac. Made as a Christmas gift for the folks. Thanks for the idea Paul.

Found some purpleheart wood cheap on as it was being discontinued. and thought that would be a nice switch. I used oak for the decorative pieces. I also included decorative pieces on both sides of the upright.
