This little cabinet has just been finished and holds an exact copy of the Corbridge Hunt Cup, the original can be seen in the British Museum. It was found very close to Hadrian's Wall sitting on top of hoard of Roman gold coins. The replica was a gift from my daughter oop 'Narth and it's been displayed in a little teak cabinet.
The pot is about 180mm high, so the cabinet isn't very big. The material is solid teak and teak veneers, finished with a couple of coats of Osmo and some posh Swedish beeswax over the top, applied with a grey Webrax.
The back is a solid teak panel.
The accent details are in Bog Oak which came from the ancient Roman port of Londinium via the centre of the USA...it's had an 8500 mile journey to get back to the UK!
The frame is domino'd together and the round corners were bearing cut with a router.
