Real inlay work on a grand scale.

Should be glad Geoff doesn't do guitars as the bar might get a bit too high.Check out these links for some better quality photos.

not too shaby michael, he must have started that when he was 12 years old! its pretty impressive, but my favourite is definately the eagle inlay underneath the drawer on top of the cupboard.

Wouldn't you just love a day exploring all the doors and drawers he's built into this thing. I bet there are even a few secret ones that even he's forgotten how to get into.

No one would doubt that its been a labor of love to have spent that much time creating it. Parting with it I imagine would be pretty traumatic, but if he gets what he's asking, I believe some of the pain and anguish would be assuaged.

Plenty of secret drawers and boy can Geoff hide them well. The secret opening devices are a bit of a pet love for Geoff and even a day with the thing by yourself wouldn't find them all. I am lucky enough to have known this "cupboard" from the first sketches to the Official Opening ceremony and it has been a labour of love and skill. Just the vision required to start is awe inspiring let alone seeing it through and yes it is french polished everywhere.
Cheers from Micheal.
