Gorgeous wood and gorgeous project. The third picture made me chuckle. Do all of your projects come with a pre-installed priest or is that an “extra”? ;-)

-- We may never know who let the dogs out, but I'd bet anything PETA was involved.

Great job, I like the time you took on details.

I love that warm look on the mahogany.

I am not a big fan of mahogany, but that is a heck of a piece of furniture. Great job.

Thanks to all for the comments. It was one of those projects that I really enjoyed doing. The armoire is a design I came up with after comparing lots of other armoires. I purchased the crown molding, but the waste molding and the small cove molding at the bottom were made in the shop. I even tried to orient the grain on the frames of the doors. Keeping the straight grain on the stiles and center rails, while trying to use curved grain for the archs. Yes, the client seems very pleased and is now talking a sleigh bed to match. I may have to get Lee J. to come to texas to help me with that one.
Thanks again

I love the workmenship you put into but I it was me I think I would have taken the picture with the playboy channel on.
The wood selection is perfect and the book match really looks great. Your design seems to work well, as if its the only way to go. Your time was well spend and thanks for taking the time to share your ideas and talents.
