I am working on a Sheet Music Cabinet that will go to Scottsdale Arizona.
I have completed the brass hardware for the Door and Drawer. Combo-G-F clef is the Door handle, the G clef is for the drawer.
I went back to work on the individual shelves. The shelves are 1/2 inch plywood with hardwood pieces glued to the fronts. After glue-up there are rough glue edges that need to be planed and sanded smooth.
I use this shooting board while planing the edges of each piece.
Here are all the shelves planed and sanded smooth.
The I cut the inside panel moldings. These are loosely placed and will be stained black and the panels need the inlaid elements.
I started the side panel inlays on the Cabinets.
After these set, moldings will be set around the panel gluing it to the frame.
The moldings are primed and colored with a flat black. They will set in the frames then given a glossier finish after they are glued in place.
The moldings are in place and the top is glued in place with a round over profile
The moldings are planed and sanded flat to the carcase surface.
The carcase gets a coat of primer-A water based rosewood stain to penetrate the maple
After the primer sets-I applied a coat of oil based Ebony stain. This will need to set for a couple of days before the next finishing step.
In the meantime the drawer front is coming along.
The C-Clef element being applied to the door panel. (The Frame will be Black the panel will remain the light Maple)
Several Coats of finish so far.
A couple more to go then let it cure a week or so, then ship.
