Gorgeous cabinet. Nice dovetail work and the pulls are fabulous. I love how the combination of woods work together.

I love the idea for the door handles.

She’s a beauty. Great wood, lovely details, i.e. handles etc. My only nitpick is the dovetails?? under the cabinet doors…to my eye (and it is just my eye) they break up the sleek front of this lovely cabinet. (my opinion is worth what you paid for it) It is a real nice piece & I think you’ve done a great job

Beautiful!!!

I don’t for a second feel qualified to tell you what is right or wrong with this project. IMHO, I think it is absolutely gorgeous. I mostly make boxes and one of the hardest parts for me is the handles. The handles on this are just fantastic. The overall design, wood combo and finish are beautiful.
I would have to agree with michelletwo on the dovetails under the doors.
This is something I would be proud to have in my home. I think the fact that it was favorited by Dennis should tell you all you need to know. :)
Wonderful job and thanks for posting!

Fine Woodworking indeed. Great wood combo!

Well enough of this feel good, congratulations stuff. This project is so bad, you need to ship it to my house immediately! You can thank me later for taking it off your hands.

ps….it looks like you have a very promising career in your future with this level of work. Keep it up.

I really like the leg shape, alot. Very graceful curve. YOU ASKED FOR IT! I actually like the back wood better than the door panel wood and think that combination would have worked better. The panel makes the walnut show too purple. DUDE, what is up with that hardware. You built a $4000 + cabinet, you might need to spend 100 dollars on nice brass hardware. SOSS would hard worked well. One more thing, before you call me an asshole, the wine rack is great for a utilitarian piece but it makes the piece look very heavy. I would love to see a pic with it removed. Krenov, I feel, used the stands to draw the eye to the top. Your craftsmanship is top notch. I love the door pulls, great detail. What is the combination. Black walnut and American Walnut? BW in the panel?

beautiful piece.

Ironically I’m in the middle of designing one of those myself. however I plan on having the bottles IN the cabinet to keep them out of sunlight, and in a more temperature controlled environment – this however calls the cabinet to be very deep, which at present moment doesn’t work too well with proportions. still have to work some more on the details – looking at your piece reminds me what it SHOULD look like!

looks great.

Magnificent. The details and craftsmanship are apparent. The branded logo is a nice touch. I would’ve liked to see the legs flare out to a thicker base as an Asian influence. As elegant and graceful as your legs are, I think it looks a bit top heavy. That’s probably because of the cabinet. As I look at the pics again, the legs would be perfect if the base was a stand-alone piece.

For future pieces, you could almost go with Maloof-shaped legs blending into the stretchers, which would give it a completely different look, while almost being the exact same piece. I think a very dark wood for the pulls would be very attractive (i.e. ebony, ebonized walnut, etc.).

The top cabinet looks like it’s made from different species than the base, but your writeup doesn’t indicate that. Is it because the wood was naturally different and there was no staining in your finish?
