This was my latest custom commisions.
A =scale= SAM transition.
I'm quite pleased with the way this turned out.
The unit was made in multiple turnings later attach while still on the lathe.
There is a 3/4" ply section at the top of the bottom shoulder that has the central 1" wood dowel (for strength) going about half way through the ply and extending about 4" into the upper section.
The four corner uprights are tulip poplar and are moticed into the 3/4 ply shoulder section for even more strength.
The sections come apart for easier finishing and the customer must glue them together later.
In the combo pic mine is the one on the bottom.
It's not perfect but it's close.
