I designed this china cabinet for some friends to match their dining room table.  It is built with flame cherry, riff sawn cherry, cherry ply, and American black walnut.  Walnut inlays around the top with butterfly inlay in the corners match the table's design.  Lights in the top and bottom cabinets as well as under the top unit to light up the top. I centered the cathedral grain in the panels to give it a balanced look.  Dovetail drawer and raised panel doors.  It took a long time to build because I was also remodeling my house at the time and it was my very first time to use panel and frame construction.  They were thrilled when I delivered it to them.

I finished it with 5 coats of poly sprayed on with a HVLP sprayer and rubbed the final coat out with pummice, and two different types of rottenstone. It took a long time to rub it out until I was happy with it, but worth it in the long run. Posted: 10:50 pm on November 15th
