Thats quite the piece, and I bet she’ll love it. Way to go, you did a great job.

VERY attractive . I also built a bathroom cabinet as a gift for my wife this week and I hope to post pics next week , again well done -

That turned out really well. I love those contrasting woods.

Hey, that looks great! But I hope your wife is not like mine…. The first thing out of her mouth would be “Couldn’t you find any wood that didn’t have all those worm holes in it?”

I love the walnut and spalted maple, but really dont care for the cherry with it. Hope wifey likes it, that’s what really matters. Good luck.

-- I love the smell of sawdust in the morning....

She ain’t gonna like it, ain’t go no mirrors!!! LOL It is really very well done, Carl. Great looking Spalted and Walnut really work well together and the cherry is great as well.

Thanks everybody for the kind comments. Charlie, lets just hope she doesn’t find out how much those worm holes cost..lol. Don’t worry Thos., she’s already requested a mirror to go with the hall table I posted earlier.

Great looking cabinet. Are the panels resawed or are they 3/4” thick. A great, great looking cabinet.

Thanks again guys! Karson, the panels are 1/4” resawed from 8/4.

Wow that’s is really wormy piece. Very nice, but I’m afraid your teenage girls might be giggling before they could open the door for an aspiriin….LOL
Did you fabricate the spalts and worm holes by burrying the lumber in the soils?

Woodworm:
All the holes came with the piece of spalted maple that I bought. I guess we’ve got more critters and insects down here in South Carolina than one would find up north of here. This was a piece 8 feet long x about 6 inches thick. I had the guy who runs the bandsaw mill resaw it into two 3” thick pieces. He had originally intended to sell those thick pieces for fireplace mantles. He had a puzzled look on his face when I told him I was going to resaw it into door panels. Go figure! Anyway, here’s a picture of what’s left.
