Constructing the Carcass with Jason Gray

So I have begun the "OhcrapIhavetoputtogethermythesis" phase of building the pieces for my MFA show in April. The show is going to center on two old upright bass cases that I acquired. My recent work has been inspired by cabinets of curiosity, and my intention for one of these is to build a cabinet inside the case. I've been looking at Wooton patent desks for ideas. Below are a couple of sketches; it will probably be a combination of both in the end. Not sure if I will get it completely full of curiosities before the show, but I will definitely try.

First idea. I decided against the "desk" form and will just build a cabinet.

Unfinished idea. I usually work through ideas in my head rather than sketch out every last detail.
