Post by: 21incher on March 30, 2019, 04:36:37 PM
Just finished up a cabinet for our guest room. kind of like a one cabinet that does it all.

 It has a natural edge walnut top and the rest is ash. The bottom panels are fabric coated to match the bedding.

An electric planer and belt sander made it a quick job.  Should help keep the corners from being nicked up.

Thanks.  Trying to squeeze as much into the small room as possible.

Any wood that comes from the backyard is special.   Had to use 2 slabs trimmed one side and glued up to get perfect bark on both sides and straight sap wood lines.

With the EAB I use a lot of ash. It is easy to work and stable after dry. It will yellow slightly in a couple months.   My YouTube channel has really started growing and takes up all my spare time anymore. Hope you're taking it easy and starting to heal.

 8) That is a great functional piece!  And beautiful, too!  I think I'm going to have to make a couple like that for my cabin - one for each of the two bedrooms.  I've got some antique armouir (sp) to use as closets in each room but need a little something more in them.

Nice job. Built one somewhat like that for the bathroom in my guest house.

It is more for storage and to do laundry. A stackable w&d is just across from it.
