I had a lot of fun with this one.... A lot of "modifications" during the work in progress, as my client kept asking... "can you do this, can you do that".....
Built the thing with just the ebony base.... which is 1/2 of what you're looking at... then my client said... can you put in a drawer.... so.... came the bottom apron with the drawer, flocked with black flocking fibers... and the legs to lift it off the ground a bit....
Had a tough time thinking through the legs.... since the box was already built... I would have normally mortised them in to the base... but, in this case... I mortised out a notch in the corner... drove a couple of screws in to them from the inside (prior to lining with the cedar)... and used epoxy.... they aren't moving anywhere....
Then....the idea for a two way mirror came up.... and the cigar band inlay surrounding it....
Then.... my client wanted the slats on the trays to alternate between dark & light spanish cedar....
It was a fun build..... and certainly had it's challenges....
