Les,

It really looks like you need a primer in cutting straight lines. I don't think that there is a single one in the entire piece.

Seriously, this is a wonderful project. The wood is very nicely matched and all the curves and edge profiles make this an outstanding piece of furniture.

Very nicely done (as usual, of course).

Do you happen to remember how the piece was finished?

This buffet is absolutely beautiful. The curve doors and drawer are outstanding. And walnut, great choice of wood.

I'm with Steve, "Wow!". That's an amazing piece of craftsmanship. It's really a pleasure to see your work, and know that stuff like that is still being made. Wonderful!

Very nice - you are way out front on finishing - I can't imagine the time required to prep and the patience taken to finish such a complicated piece. I hope it is in your own home.

Absolutely wonderful piece - the curved doors are fantastic. Is the top marble, or is that some fantastic finish?

Well geez you guys make it sound like I'm magic or something, but I'm not. I don't consider what I do magical, I just get the jobs and I figure out a way to make it. But thanks very much for all your comments, it means a lot to me. I'm just enjoying sharing them with you.

Damian, I promise I'll get to the curved door thing as soon as I can. Woodjack, Most of the time the designs come from designers, sometimes we design them, this one was from a picture and it was made bigger than the orginal. Bleaching walnut is done to create that aged brown tone, the dye stains and glaze also helps create the aged look, like its been sitting in front of window and its been bleached by the sun. The tambour on the doors is individual pieces. Roman, Bud this was made before blum motion slides existed, we use them all the time now. Gary, Two different process's were used on this piece. The draw fronts were from solid lumber, bandsawn and trimed on the shaper. The door rails were solid lumber glue ups for thickness and veneered.

Thanks again everyone!
