Cherry with ebony inlay and a cedar bottom (floor?). Solid cherry

It looks good. I really like the design and little details you added to it.

This is the sort of thing that I do not dare show my wife!

Stain, are freaking crazy? I'm waiting for construction orange paint
to arrive. That should hide those pesky streaks in the grain. :^|

The finish is sprayed poly (hvlp). The cedar has no finish to allow
the aroma to come alive.
The inlay was done using a router fence attachment and two shims of
equal width. Add both shims rout, remove a shim etc.

Thank you!

Absolutely beautiful design and execution. Neat part about cherry is
it will just keep getting better with time.

Well, since you asked, very nice. But one small nit: too bad the front
panels are several pieces glued up. Would have been nice to have single
pieces of wood there (but maybe hard to find anything that wide).

I think it'll look really nice once it starts to amber up in the years
to come.

Really nice design and a great looking build.

What finish?

How did you do the inlay work?

The title makes one do a double-take.

However, the chest looks great. Really like the inlay. Nice design.

Thanks. I thought it had a bit of a Japanese feel too. A little mix
of A&C, G&G and Japan? :^|

Me too. Nice and clean and looks flawlessly executed. The inlay is a
wonderful touch. I'd be very proud of something like that. I assume you
are.

When you were designing, did you have thoughts of lining the three sides
with cedar as well?

Really nice. But aren't you going to stain it?
