I felt I had to give credit to my fellow LJ’s because of all the help I received here and here.
I’m personally not happy with the stain and when I started to remove it was told to leave it alone, so here it is.
I did find loose pin hinges as Scott suggested and I changed the plans only as far as the joinery.
It’s furniture type joints rather than butt, no nails. Face frame was made using pocket screws then glued on with biscuits. It is poplar stained with Wood-Kote Jel’d gel (Heritage Oak).

Seems like there is always something we aren’t happy with when we finish a project but you did a great job on this one. Looks great, I’m sure she will be pleased!

Don’t let Mr Woody fool you all… I have been to his place and seen this piece up close. He has done a wonderful job (as usual) ..on all of his projects. Mrs B Betty…if you don’t want it let me know… LOL.

You did a very good job with the construction and I will be honest with you the finish looks just fine to me. I can well understand why you were told to leave it alone!!! It looks just fine the way it is. From the comments above I can tell it was well received.
Nice post. I really enjoyed looking at this one.

Wonderful job. Had you not said, I would have never thought the wood was poplar. I never knew poplar could be stained to look that well. Thanks for posting.

I was reading what irishhandyman said I always though that poplar and white birch was the same wood

GMan, Poplar is softer than Birch, it also has a lot of green coloring.
