Good evening. After lurking for quite some time I am finally posting. I am engineer by trade with a background in design and have always enjoyed building things. After moving to CO a few years back and buying a turn of the century (1901) victorian I have been building my skills and shop up to the point that I ave begun to tackle some more furniture oriented projects. If anyone is interested I have been posting pictures of the various projects about the house on a blogspot page (link is in my signature).
After recently completing a built in window seat project I have been thinking about what to do next and decided that a small wall hanging cabinet for a few bottles of my finest scotch would be a great excuse to delve into the world of Greene and Greene design which I have become rather fascinated with.
Attached (hopefully) is an image from a quick model I threw together over lunch today of a design concept that I have in mind. I would appreciate any feedback on the design as well as any suggestions on completing the project (joinery in particular).
Here is some basic info on the design.
-Mahogany Case and and door frames (I just scored some very nice genuine mahogany for 6$ lbf)
-The door panels and back will be spalted maple (either veneered panels left over from the window seat of solid wood, The board I have is just a bit too narrow though)
-The interior dimensions are 20 in x 16in wide with one shelf near the bottom. Glasses will sit under the shelf, bottles on it.
Thanks in advance for your feedback and comments.
