It's been raining for the last 3 weeks. Haven't had much dry weather to finish the roof.

In my depression I went into the workshop to make another piece of furniture.

I wanted to make a display cabinet for a few pieces I have been collecting.

I started with a few boards of Tasmanian Blackwood. I love the process of woodworking where you start off with a few sticks of wood and you transform it to a wonderful (and hopefully an heirloom) piece of furniture.

Front face and side face of the cabinet completed.

Back face done. Only raised panel and top to do.
