Well Folks, my computer has been seriously sick so I have not been able to show some other project completions. (Ignore the date, the camera has the wrong date in it)
This was a cherry cabinet made of some plywood, the sides and interior parts, the back and the counter top at the rear were plywood. Everything else is solid cherry, the table top, legs, door and drawer front, and all trim.
I milled all the trim in my shop.
The cabinet has some lights in the top, a file drawer, and storage areas behind the doors. The computer is behind a door near the end of the table. The keyboard is installed on the drawer under the table.
The monitor and printer go on top and not installed here.
It was a fairly big project. It is made in four sections in order to be able to move it. It was very heavy anyway. Whew!

Very nice Charles! The color is beautiful. The lamb’s tongue, fluted columns, and trim add elegance and grace to the project. Well worth the additional time invested!

This is fabulous! Very professional.
I love the shelf standards, very old school. Many antiques I have seen use this system. I love it!

Thanks for all the positive comments. I really appreciate it. The customer really likes it and that is the greatest reward.
As far as the finish goes, it was fairly simple and it turned out great. It has Minwax Maghonay stain with lacquer sanding sealer, three coats sprayed, and two coats of Sherwin Williams Dull Rubbed Effect Lacquer finish. I did use some “0000” steelwool to polish some.
I treated the exposed end grain with a coat Minwax wood finish before staining. After it was wiped off I let it dry over night and touched it up the next day.

Charlie, Another example of some fine workmanship. The fluted pillasters are great and the chamfered corners really set the piece off. Great work as always!
