This one was a bit complicated. It was designed and built for a fine art glass collector to use for displaying her collection. Materials consist of Honduran mahogany (hope the rainforests forgive me) legs and top and a poplar body covered with curly maple veneer, and a inlaid piece of reflective glass, to enhance the art to be displayed on it. The complication was the need to build a coppered barrel (for the body) that tappers. It took approximately 32 pieces of poplar each with a precision cut compound angled edge. I actually had to recruit my mathmatical genius friend from Harvard to figure out the angle of the cuts. I think the formula was for the “cosine of a cone”. Well none-the-less he provided flawless math and all 32 pieces fit together like a glove when the barrel was constructed. The finish  was a danish oil sealed with laquer. I learned a lot with this piece.
