This stunning piece showcases some beautiful stock, wonderful details, and spot-on hardware selection.
I have attached pictures of an apothecary cabinet I just completed. The primary wood is bubinga. The internal wood is baltic birch. Drawer face fronts are 2″ x 3 5/8″. The Chinese characters are handcarved into the face fronts and filled with Rockler’s wonder wood filler. Finish is danish oil and General Finishes satin poly blend. The bottom cabinet is lined with Chinese calligraphy.
This reader-submitted project is a handsome way to keep those pesky toy cars put away and organized.
This is a storage/carrying case that I made for my grandson to use for his collection of small model cars. The sides, inserts and handle are of solid cherry and the top and bottom is cherry plywood.

My name is Adam Rung from Adam Rung Woodworks. This is my Teak Porthole End Table. The name is pretty self-explanatory. I made the table out of Teak wood and a porthole that was recovered from a ship in Nova Scotia. I generally work with regionally grown hardwoods and reclaimed materials, but I chose Teak for this project because it has traditionally been used in the ship-building community.

This reader-submitted project is proof once again that you don’t always need to know what wood you’re using for it to turn out beautifully.
Thought you might appreciate this credenza I made to hold books for my wife. It’s constructed from curly Mahogany with a heavily figured bird’s eye Maple top, accents and carved handles. The veneer on the door fronts is a mystery wood I acquired while dealing in wood veneers, that has an incredible curly, lustrous look with black veins.

Sometimes the most unlikely wood combinations turn out better than you’d imagine…
This TV Stand is made from 3/4″ Brazilian Walnut tongue and groove flooring. I made the raised door panels from solid Brazilian Walnut from a local wood specialty store. Top Trim molding and bottom skirt are American Walnut also purchased at local store. It measures 52” wide, 30” high and 18” deep.
It is only finished with rub on urethane. No stain.
The end insert panel is made of luan which surprisingly matched the walnut.
The piece is actually much darker than the pictures show.
I will have tiny slivers to show for years. J

And, in just a few days, those diligent mail carriers will be bringing a copy to you. But, why wait? Here’s a quick rundown of what’s coming your way.
