Not really sailing-- Part 2



Finally part 2 of the massive Australian Red Cedar robe is complete and installed opposite its matching partner... and the client is extremely happy as its matches in perfectly with the 130 year old original cedar joinery throughout the house... a rare and unique house to work in and a pleasure to work with such perfect timber... but most thanks goes to my girl Leslie, as she toiled away with all the sanding and varnish work to make this timber come to life
Not everyday that solid timber is used like this... but client instructions of no chipboard or MDF or any other crap materials to be used and their appreciation of the rareness and qualities of Australian Cedar makes for one unique peice of furniture... and over 3 months hard work
Also goes a long way in telling the story of our short but sweet sailing season... as many hours, late nites and weekends spent working with this project instead of going sailing
