Well, as a few of my Buddies on here know, I had a set back with my router making the door panels.
http://lumberjocks.com/topics/23154
Well I finally got this project done. It’s 3’ high x 4’ wide x 6” deep. I needed a shallow cabinet so my V Drum sander could sit on the counter. This cabinet was practice for me, using some new tools I had bought. I used Summerfelds T&G matched router bit set for the Case & the matched Rasied Panel router bit kit for the doors. So far I’m very impressed with Summerfelds kits.
I had never attempted to make raised panel doors before is why I practiced with a shop cabinet before making two cabinets for a blank Kitchen Wall for Blondie. I bought this wood from Rob at Tule Peak Lumber, man I love it. Rob was correct though stating, “how hard this wood was.” It came from the Mount Palomar fires a cpl years ago and is a cpl hundred yrs old.
I used Gunstock stain on the Red Oak and 7 coats of wipe on poly. No stain used on the door panels.
Hope you like it,
Thx for looking, All comments welcome.

Looks great! Those blue oak panels really catch your eye. Maybe one of these days I’ll make it down to meet Rob.

That looks sharp! I need a cabinet like that in my shop to catch everyone’s attention when they come in to my shop. Then they wouldn’t notice the mess. You did a great job.

Ken, this is a gorgeous addition to your shop. And I am sure it will be the first thing anyone notices when they come into your shop. Now that you are an expert in raising panels it is time to build the kitchen cabinets that your wife wants.
