Cherry DVD Tower

Here is my DVD tower that I built at the same time as my bookcase. This is also made of cherry wood. It is also all solid cherry except for the shelves, which are 3/4” cherry ply with a 1” solid wood front rabbeted on for strength. I also used 1/2” birch plywood for the back.

I did inset doors with a beaded face frame. It took some to get the doors to fit just right but I’m pretty happy with the way they turned out.

For the top i used an ogee bit on the edges of the top and then made my own molding to go underneath that using a bullnose bit and a roundover bit.

The finish is the same as the bookcase so they’d match. I did two coats of Charles Neils pre-conditioner and then General Finishes Cinnamon stain. I then did two coats of de-waxed shellac and and 3 coats of Minwax satin polyacrylic.
