My first cabinet
This project is a rather simple bisquet and plywood frame with a very challenging bow front pair of maple and two layers of bending ply in the doors. I laminated five strips of various width maple for the bow in the doors.
I did not fully realize what I was getting into as I innocently told my wife that, sure I could make a nice stand for her new fish tank. I wanted anything but black but she insisted, so what do you think?

I think it’s a great build, really nice piece of furniture. Great job on the curved surfaces, very well done.

Outstanding job. I’m also in the middle of a bowfront tank stand. All I have to do is complete the difficult doors. Nice work.

First cabinet and bow front doors? This is remarkable work that wouldn’t be out of place in any cabinet shop.
Smooth and clean, very nice work.
