This project is the one that has involved the most technique (ie. possiblities for screw-ups) for me thus far. This is a simple TV stand that will go into my kids playroom. Made from maple plywood, edge banded with solid maple, bottom trim is poplar, the drawer front is a shaker style frame/panel with the frame made of poplar and the panel is 1/8” birch laminated onto a 1/2” piece of pine (holy crap – that a lot of different wood types!!!). The finish is just 3 coats of semi-gloss poly. I was surprised by now nice the poplar looked with just poly wiped on.
Sorry for the quality of pics – I need a new digi-cam.
Again, thanks for looking.

Very nice! It looks very professional.
Just a suggestion for taking pictures in the future, even with an average digi-cam, to have more light in the back from the floor up. It will highlight your subject better and give it more of a 3 dimensional look. Just a comment.

This is a nice looking entertainment center. The woods work well together. At one time in my woodworking journey I only used a single wood species but multiple woods give the piece character and visual interest.
Nice job.
