Do the hard bit first. Three squares were glued together with their grain at right-angles, chucked up on the lathe, and the bezel was cut out |
It looks fantastic now its cleaned up. I selected the worst pieces for this since I wanted the grain as wild as possible |

The cat supervised as I cut the carcass pieces. These were rebated so that the corner joints would not show when assembled and so that no joint would be seen at either top or bottom. |
Here it is being glued up. The bits inside are to ensure that the balls actually fall into the box and not down the side of the drawer |

The mouldings around the top were then cut and fitted |
Finally, a plinth was made for the whole assembly to sit upon |

It was hard work and the oilstone was in constant use. (Teak really is very tough stuff). I think it was worth it in the end though.
