This 33 foot long by 9 1/2 foot high built in cabinet incorporates several bookcases, pantry storage, an electronic component area, and various other types of storage. The clients selected Pomelle Sapele veneer for the door and drawer fronts with Cherry veneer and solids as a background.  There are four separate lighted display spaces for the clients sculpture and glass collection controlled with touch dimmer switches.  The two hanging art areas double as nook seating.  The finish is a combination of Polyester, Conversion Varnish and Satin Black Lacquer.

Also, great website Craig, don't know where you are, but I'd gladly sweep sawdust just to see how you work! Posted: 1:14 pm on June 24th
