I was asked to post this separately, having already posted in the thread entitled "Anyone Building Anything?"
Garrett Hack’s Huntboard (my version with a more Shaker emphasis)
I started this build in late April, and just finished last week. Its my version of Garrett Hack’s Huntboard. I worked from plans available through Fine Woodworking. I kept to the plan mostly, with some minor changes to dimensions and features.
Wood: Curly and Quarter-Sawn Cherry, with Bloodwood and Ebony Accents (interior and drawer sides of Eastern White Pine
Finish: OSMO Poly-X Oil/Wax
Hardware: Brusso Knife Hinges and Ball Catches.The door pulls are ebony Viola tuning pegs which I modified on the lathe to work as pulls.
Features: A nice curve to the front/back/sides of the top give this a nice look. It is quite tall, and the height coupled with the tapered legs give it a somewhat graceful look. Drawers feature hand-cut dovetails. The balance of the joinery was a combination of machine and hand work. The plans are very detailed and having built it, I think its a very doable project.
I chronicled the build in detail on another WW forum (not sure if its ok to mention which one?).
On to the next project!
