Construction details:
size: roughly 52"W x 23"D x 24"H. 2 adjustable shelves
wood type: solid Ash
finish: black parts "ebonized" with Speedball India Ink. 4 coats water-based polyurethane
Construction time: 180,000s
This is a modified version of a Woodsmith plan. Original plan is for a larger version with solid side and divider panels - without the "ebonizing." My amplifier gives off so much heat that I needed something open. Hence the slats.
The Ash is very nice - whiter than what the pictures show. Artistically I was interested in a high-contrast result. Which is the reason for the ebonized Ash. The water-based polyurethane maintained the natural white color of the Ash.
