Thanks everyone. I'm limited on tools here but I have my router. Was able to cut out a pattern with a copping saw and routed out the trays. I'll post more pics as it comes along. Have to sand it by hand. The wood is crazy beautiful. Made one out of mahogany too but don't know if I can bring it back to the states...its banned in the US. Made some wood dowels to put thread spools on. Drilled a hole in some steel and cut the woods as close as possable and then tappered the ends to start in the hole ...then tapered the other end and put in the drill and pushed it through as I spun it....it worked. Woohoo...blue mahue dowels. Going to put them on the first ledge to hold spools. By the way this may seem backwards for most people but I'm left handed...so my vise is on the right = facing left.
