Features:
-126-piece sliding tambour door
-Pull-out serving tray
-Swiveling champagne and wine glass trays
-Mirrored back panels
-Three traditional English dovetailed drawers
-Handcrafted Kulissenführungen
-Fully clad brass column
If you’re interested in woodworking, furniture design, or the process of becoming a Master Carpenter in Germany, this video gives an inside look at the challenges and rewards of the final masters exam project.
