Its Monday morning and I just finished this small wall shelf over the weekend. Its body and interior drawer are African Mahogany, the drawer front is Flame Birch and the runners are made of Rosewood. I wanted to try to incorporate the sliding drawer rails into a piece so this was more or less an experiment. Kind of a Modern look with traditional joinery.src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8g6LQPumPu9U8dp-Fx2SdEEkyWVvXbmKdWKsW9Ak2qY6g5T4A6Wrx9mUDRv8OxLc58ggOmVEI6yu97ogz1GxiBF08Yy9FxPPtiZId8o0_mgRDJInXt4M5T4rE4G1Yl6XxqENm6lcwVmU/s320/modern+shelf+detail.jpg" style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;">Im happy how it turned out. The dovetails were a bit of a challenge due to the thickness of the Mahogany. The Birch for the drawer front is known as Flame Birch and has a real figured grain. Lots of shimmer. This adds to the difficulty of the piece due to the reversing grain pattern that create the Flame look. A cabinet scraper was the tool for the job. The finish is a hand rubbed wax.
