Thread: One closet done, one to go

    One closet done, one to go

    As many of you know, I've been working on a large commission for a client to replace all of the metal shelving in a couple of closets.I ordered 550 bf of Jatoba for this project and am slowly getting it done. With the exception of the custom hardwood floor which will happen after both closets are complete, I finally finished the cabinet and shelves in the first closet.

    Left wall shelving and sweater cabinet.


    Shoe rack


    Right wall shelving


    Right wall shelving (different angle)


    The owners were very pleased with the end product so now the work begins on closet # 2 which is a little bigger than the first. I used a total of 235 bd ft in closet #1 which was right in line with what I had figured. Did take a little longer than I had figured but still did alright.

    Nice work. Beautiful. Do you have any close ups of the shelf edges? I can't quite see what you did there.

    Thanks Jim
    I didn't take a close up of the shelf edges but they are a simple inlay using holly and ebony. Just adds a nice artistic touch.

    Major transformation of the previous closet Mike. Excellent work and the defining touch are those holly fronts with ebony in-corporated. Icing on the cake so to speak.

    Well done...
