That's a really unusual piece. Tell us a little more about it. It looks to be metalic.

 

[Cherryville Chuck]

Very nice work Scott.

Scott - I don't see an option on that link that allows a vote, but I do see "The Promotion has Ended"

I really like you piece though - excellent.

 

[difalkner]

Vince the page came up to the contest and I scrolled down to 'show more entries' then chose Scott's piece.

David - thanks. I had to click on the image of the work piece before the "vote" option came up - I thought I had already done that but I guess "oldtimers" is setting in.

Voted for you Scott, hope you win.

 

[MT Stringer]

Voted for ya Scott, craftsmanship of that piece and the wood selected are just beautiful. Good luck

thanks guys,
this is new work still embodies my life long theme of discovering inner beauty. (not to get too heavy here, but I do think since we only go around once, I might as well include some passionate theme in my work)

In any event, the exterior is redwood burl which was a challenge to book match the cube. You'll have to think about it but since it is 6 sides, I had to match three corners which typically you need even numbered leaves to do, this odd number doesn't work with typical matching. corner A meets A, the opposite two sides meet side B to and B, leaving two two A edges to meet. can't match A to a B, clear as mud?
moving on. the pyrite sphere and a magnet on its bottom which is the only way to open the door, and you have to know exactly where to place it. the door has a magnet hidden in it behind the veneer.

The interior is variegated metal leaf.
AND - note the curved leg structure elements are not at 45 degree intersection. I think the technical term is pain in the ass joinery.
The leafing process I'll be posting on my youtube channel too under imaginegrove.
thanks again. love this forum.

Thanks Jim, but I found it earlier - had to click on the image to get the vote option to come up.

I love the cabinet but no way can I get past that splash page...

 

[Herb Stoops]

Same here, I went to the bottom and found "Projects" but it wasn't in there.
