Bubinga slab wall unit

[grosa]

Working on a Bubinga slab wall unit. This wood is rear to find this big. Bubinga was just put on the endangered list so there will be no more cutting. This wall unit has Sapele base cabinets and the upper cabinets are also Sapele. The drawer faces are boards that were resawn and book matched to make the panels and the grain matches on the drawers. The Bubinga slab is a live edge 2 1/2” thick x 13 1/2 feet long. We had to use a fork lift to bring it in through the second floor. The lights are all LED on a remote dimmer switch. We still need to install the cork back on the unit and I will get some better pictures when it’s done.

I just saw the photos for the first time today and, as always, I am really impressed with what a
true craftsman can do with wood and the correct tools. What talent!
Thanks for sharing and God Bless! Spirithorse

I don't know how I missed this back in January - but I apparently did. I'm glad it popped back up thanks to Rusty.  What a stunning piece of craftsmanship.  Just beautiful work.  Thanks for showing it.

That truly is a piece of furniture that makes a statement.
