Here is my latest piece, It has not been varnished yet so is not fully finished. I made this using a Hobbies of Dereham England Design The design is number 1017 and it was published on 10th April 1915 when the First world war was in progress! I reckon that this is the hardest piece I have cut in terms of inside cuts there were over 135 bits to cut out on the main frame! I made this for my daughter for Christmas so I hope she likes it! I could not get a mirror to fit (Hobbies used to sell a special bevelled one in 1915) so I found an old plain mirror and cut one from that. In case anyone is interested I made this from an old plywood kitchen cabinet which I removed over 38 years ago! It was good quality birch plywood but covered with several coats of gloss paint but after scraping this off I has some fairly decent plywood to use.
