    My 1st New Years resolution completed

    Here is the curio cabinet that I started last summer and trashed because of mistakes that I had made. I made it one of my New Year resolutions to complete. I bought the plans from Rockler and didn't realize that the cabinet is only 9" deep inside! The problem I had was that the stiles and rails for the two cabinets were all different sizes all 4 were different widths and I got confused at assembly time and misassembled them .So I cut it up and tossed it in the wood pile until last month. I just hate to leave a project unfinished.

    Very nice!! It sure does look a lot better there than in the garbage heap.

    Regards,

    Dewey, I think it is the dimensional size of the pic and not the resolution. The file size is 63.5 KB. If he did the pic at 72 resolution, but sized it 8x10 or thereabouts, it should display better.

    In any event, Robert, it looks to be a very nice cabinet. What wood did you use?
