    3 drawer 2 door Mahogany cabinet

    Well I'm a high school woodworker and my shop teacher had the box assembly left over from a previous student that never finished it so he let me have it. Granted I did make a few mistakes here and there along the way and there were some that the previous student made that weren't really correctable.
    I used African Mahogany, Jarrah and Satinwood

    Here's some pics. I'll get some better ones when I get a chance.

    Oh and I'll make some adjustable shelves for one door and possibly a simple wine rack on the other side. I'm thinking about 2 pieces of 3/4 ply dadoed through the middle on each piece to connect them like an X. We'll see.

    And the last 2 pics are of a Mahogany coffee table I made with Satinwood trim. I'm not done with that because I'm going to put some crown under the top to fill out the assembly.

    Both projects are looking good Jarrod. On the table, what size crown? personally, I would not do anything very heavy here. Is it still possible to square out the legs, or have the edges been eased?

    Hey thanks a lot guys. And those legs are already squared off. It may just be the angle of the picture. And I'm planning on putting 3 1/2" crown to fill out the gap under the tabletop. I'm not sure how to finish it yet. maybe some Minwax tung oil and when it cures buff on some wax or maybe just a few coats of lacquer. Still yet to decide.

    Looks good Jarrod, looking forward to seeing that table with some finish on it!!
    If at first you don't succeed, look in the trash for the instructions.
