Japanese Tool Chest

I wanted to test the dimensions before committing this design to precious ash, or maybe fir or pine or even cherry or walnut, I also have a lot of maple on hand.  I used old cedar fence slats and scrap ply for the mockup.  So far the dimensions (5x8x30ish) seem to work, I may try adding dividers before placing many more tools.

This cedar dents incredibly easily so the french marks aren't really my fault.  I think the exposed edge plywood bottom accents the piece nicely.

Drawing

When I try to draw furniture I end up doodling, maybe the doodles will eventually take on the shape of furniture.





I wish for a set of side escapement moulding planes.  Most furniture with moulding doesn't appeal to me, but I like thinking about moulding and drawing profiles.

Coffee Table

The color isn't what I wanted, not even close.  I'm sure it will be a few years before I get it.  
Second attempt with milk paint.
