Chest of drawer in ash and beech

12 drawers, ash planks, framed by beech.
Finished in may, 2012. In a proper sense I don't like beech wood.
Usually it's titled as a boring material. And during this work - I had to reconsider my standpoint.

Jewelry box

There was made a jewelry box in 2011, as a Christmas present.
Cherry, white maple. Inside it has two levels - two separate trays made of alder wood. The bottoms of the  trays are covered by leather (goatskin).
The last three pictures show the drawings of the designing process. (Naturally there was much more, these are selected items.)

Really handcraft - a chair in ash&walnut

There was a job - really handcraft, an exhausting and enjoyable work. Now I'm just editing the pictures of it. (Cutting, trimming, resizing etc...)
The basic structure of the chair is made of ash, the seat and the backrest are walnut. There are visible wedged round-tenons as decorative elements.
More pictures coming soon
- to my webpage
- and to my facebook page (Faktura Furniture)

Till then here are the raw photos:

First

During the recent days I was being busy with some pics of a spring work - a desk with a chair. I.e. a children"s desk. So I'm about to share some of them.

 The chair. Well it is a characteristic one. It has legs like the "moravian chairs" have - round tenons with wedges. Although the mentioned sample (m.chair) is quite rough/chunky I  was rather intent on constructing a lighter piece.  Therefore I made several bewels around the seat and tried to shape the details precisely. So, look!
