Absolutely gorgeous Mark. Love the coffeewood and your use of inlay and the bookmatched top. If you don't mind sharing, could you show how you make your full extension drawer glides?

Doug, I am going to try and post this article I found in Fine Woodworking many years ago. It's where I got the idea for my slides. I made minor changes to the way I do them, but basically what is shown. Let me know if you can open it.

Ok, got it. I try to use some woods for my slides that are naturally waxy too. Goncalo Alves, Orange heart, and this coffeewood I used all are a bit waxy.

Try some lignum vitae (or a close substitute like Vera wood) or Brazilian blackheart. They are so waxy that if you just sand to a high enough grit, they will finish themselves.

Thanks, that copied and saved just fine. I'll read it through later.
