Hi everybody,
I don't post very much in general, but I just completed a rather complex project and I thought it might give other woodworkers some ideas. The bookcases extend across two walls with a glass door curio cabinet at the corner junction. Construction is walnut veneer plywood cabinetry with solid walnut raised panel doors and moldings. Everything was shop made except the ceiling crown molding which was purchased at HD and stained to match. The glass shelves in the curio cabinet and mirrors lining the curio back walls were fabricated at a local glass shop. The walnut was stained with Crystalac warm walnut water based stain, given a coat of Zinser Sealcoat, and 3 layers of sprayed General Water Base Poly. The project was built in the shop as separate 30" base cabinets and top bookcases and assembled on site. The counter top was made in three pieces. Since I do this as a hobby and only get to woodwork on weekends, the whole project took about 10 months. Here are some pictures.
