TV Stand/Credenza built out of local White Oak. Built for a friend and his wife, ~ 80 hours including designing. Lotsa parts! Ammonia fumed for 24 hours, 2 coats sealer, 4 coats poly. I posted on the Sketchup site if anyone wants the plans. Proportions were designed by the client, I was hoping he would hate it so I could keep it! – the proportions are really well suited for a nice piece of furniture. Solid wood throughout, should hold together for a few generations. A lot of the finishing was chosen by them, (round pins in the mortices, no round-over on the edges, no taper on the legs and a satin finish). I also added the Greene and Greene indent and a Rodel finish to the legs just so they would have SOME kind of ending…Built to either fit against a wall, or in the middle of the room….I could use a couple of these in my house!

Really nice job on this piece!
It is always amazing to me how even medium sized projects like this have so many parts. It can make glueups a real challenge.
Great job.
You say you used 2 coats sealer and 4 coats poly – what was the sealer – shellac?

Great looking TV stand!
I’ve got my version in the finish room right now. I’ll probably have photos to post in a few weeks.

Very nice, not surprising that your client liked the proportions. The overall height to length ratio is pretty close to the golden ratio.
