This is a cabinet I just completed at work. It is a handicap vanity for a customer.
It is the first cabinet that I have made curved doors for. It is a bow front vanity made of Mahogany. The end panels and doors have veneered insets that are short grain elm and crotch mahogany. Another supplier sent the veneered panels to us. The posts, base and molding are from Pearlworks. Our finishing department did the finish.
I want to thank Les Hastings for his excellent blog on curved doors. Without it I would have been lost as to where to start building these doors. This cabinet was a real challenge and I would appreciate any critiques, good or bad.

Beautiful. Looks right out of victorian England. Is that gold leaf on the posts and edging?

Thanks Daniel. Actually the veneer came from England. The gold is a gold paint with a lacquer finish.

This is a magnificent piece. It came out great. Dan’s right- it looks like it could be a Victorian antique.

Wow, the burled veneers are incredible. Honestly, I wasn’t aware that anyone was doing this sort of work these days.

A great start. Now where are you going from here.
I assume the lack of a base in the cabinet is so the wheelchair can get in real close.

Excellent work, marvelous veneer and very well balanced design and conception.
As a furniture, this work deserves to be exposed in a museum.
By the way, do you also turn/carve the lateral columns?
In Brazil we can’t find that kind of things not even the beautiful golden ornaments you’ve used on it.
Congratulations and thank you for sharing this magnificent piece of art with us.

Thanks everyone for the comments. Makes me feel good that everyone likes it. Like I said before it was a challenge.
Marco, the turnings come from California and are actually cast from a poly of some sort. The poly will take stain as well as paint. These are what the designer specified.
Karson, you are right. Open the doors and wheel the wheelchair up to the sink.
