This project was built in the summer and fall of 2007. It is a computer armoire made of walnut. The construction process was a true joy with a few harrowing close calls thrown in to make life interesting. The project was requested by a very nice lady who appreciates custom made furniture. We worked together over the design, accommodating her existing computer equipment. The goal was to make the cabinet versatile enough to be used for other purposes in the future. The project took just under 4 months to complete, working mostly weekends and a few nights.
Joinery included rabbeted and biscuited corners, dados and Kreg pocket screws. Lumber was walnut plywood and solid walnut for the rails, stiles and plywood edging.
The finish was created using waxed and dewaxed shellac and polyurethane for a total of seven coats on all surfaces.
