Gene,
I really like what you did here. Especially the dental molding and the arch on the top door rails. That is unique. I’ve got the shop full of red Oak right now. Stinking crap. Of course, it sure looks great when it’s done as you have shown us here.

Thanks,
The tambor bread box in the corner is made using a kit purchased at Rockler. I hate to advertise, but it did turn out nice and it does work smooth also.
Tom,
Most of what I build is in red oak. Around this part of the country, It is very plentiful and not to hard to find choice lumber, plus the all important cost factor (LOL) Not that I’m a tight wad? (LOL)
Isn’t it amazing what you can do with a router?
God bless

Hey Gene,
Red oak is not one of my favorites either, but you made it look fantastic!

Beautiful, Gene! The crown and dentil molding really set it off.

Gene I agree with all of the above comments. The cabinets look great and I love the crown and dentil molding as well.

Gene, In 1967. I went to a friend’s ranch in Mississippi. He had bought an old plantation and was clearing off the bushes and trees to make pasture. I spent most of the winter helping cut and haul pulp wood. The one thing that no one wanted was Oak. All it was used for was fire wood. If I remember right at that time Maple was worth about $25/ thousand on the stump. There didn’t seem to be much of a market for wood.

Hay! Tom, We remember when. My, doesn’t time change things. These days, most appreciate less and the lucky few appreciate the most. We the lucky, appreciate the song produced by the table saw and the elbow grease behind the sand paper.
God bless
