ANd finally it has finish on it ... I used "Tried and True" danish oil, which I like, but I'm a bit disappointed with the colour of the bubinga veneer ... The project I made with this flitch of veneer before it has a richer reddy-brown colour. However I like how the sapele finished. The top worked out ok too ... just enough figure in the sapele to give it some interest, but not too much. I used simple magnetic catches for the door catches. The centre door has no visible hinges or handle, so I added a small lever behind the right door, which moves a cam the other side of the divider, which pushes a small brass pin that pushes open the central door. The drawers behind can't really be called secret drawers, since it is so obvious that there should be something behind the panel, so I guess "hidden drawers" is a better description. The big drawer I am planning on installing a fabric lined support for the violin and bows etc ... but I don't have enough fabric on hand. SO this will have to wait. ANd when the acoustic violin is packed away and I want to play electric ... the amplifier is stored behind the left door ... just open up and switch on ... Thanks again to all of you who followed along, giving encouragement, advice etc. This was certainly a challenging build, woth lots of difficulties along the way ... but I think it can be called a success -
