Hi
I made it out of Irish Oak (it was part of the criteria to use indigenous wood). I saw original brass hardware for sale on this forum back in the spring but it was very expensive so I sourced hardware through a horological supplier. They are definitely not ideal but give the general impression of the original(I least like the front drawer pull handle but what can you do, needs must).
Thanks for your interest.

Hi

That's me with the Melba hardware, they were expensive to reproduce, but they do look excellent. I sold some pieces to a collector in the USA, he said he couldn't tell them apart from the originals.

Cheers Marcel
