For Y'all Alan Peters Sideboard

I've got the chance of bringing an Alan Peters sideboard dorsum to life. The drawers are sticking, the doors don't unopen properly together with the whole matter needs refinishing. It was made dorsum inward 1977, inward the typical manner of the day, using Cuban mahogany, oak together with cedar of Lebanon. Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 Federal Reserve notation likewise came amongst it, maxim the nicely finished nurture panel (below) was chestnut, although it's truly a soft wood, in all probability cedar of Lebanese Republic over again every bit the interior has a typically sweetness smell. The Federal Reserve notation likewise said the timber was recycled from a tabular array inward a mill.
The structure of the carcass is 1/8" thick band sawn veneers on a plywood base of operations to get got attention of seasonal movement.

The drawers are beautifully dovetailed amongst quarter sawn oak sides. The rounded drawer describe is establish on many of Alans pieces.

Also typical of Alans operate is this subtle bead exceptional to enshroud the hinge barrels, a throw dorsum to his Barnsley training. I've used this technique on a position out of occasions together with it's real neat.

The bead exceptional is echoed at the dorsum of the top...…..

…...as good every bit inward the doors.

And of course of educational activity the biggest 'give away' his cite stamp!

The happen has a large stain together with the complete has faded badly.

There are a position out of deep scratch marks.

As good a numerous dents.

Here is a sample board of Cuban mahogany finished amongst Skelton Peacock Oil. This is hopefully gives about consider of what the refinished slice volition await like.
