This is another piece I built for a customer. My most $$ piece yet.
Solid walnut with zebrawood raised panels in the doors and drawer fronts. My first time ever doing raised panels. Turned out pretty good I think. The design is fairly straight forward and modern. It has push to open features on the doors and drawer slides. Adjustable shelves for components. Nice open back for easy access to wires and plugs. The drawers will hold just over 100 DVD’s.
The walnut parts are all finished with a good coat of black walnut danish oil first, then everything is finished with multiple coats of wipe on poly.
His 46” LCD tv will sit on top.
This customer has already commissioned me to do some more custom building for him. He was very very pleased with this one.

Wow, that’s a beauty. Great wood combination.
I really like the idea of leaving the back open for easy wire access, while putting doors on the front to hide the whole mess.

Great looking and well crated cabinet. I agree with the others that the wood combination really works well on this piece.

Zebrawood makes an idea complimentary wood for walnut. The darker areas of the zebrawood are nearly the same color as the walnut. I have to remember this wood configuration in the future.
