    Cherry Vanity Project

    HI,

    Here are the pictures of recent project. It is a cherry double vanity, 58" long and 24" deep. The finish is a waterlox clear finish. The wood is cherry and it has dovertail drawers. The linen cabinet (48" high, 28 wide and 18 deep) is also cherry and will have doors with antique glass in them (glass is being installed by glazier). Hardware will be added once chosen by the customer.

    Gail, nice clean lines. And it's cherry! What's not to like? Great job in continuing the grain across the drawer fronts and grain match all the way around. Thanks for showing it off.

    Nice, very nice.
    I like the grain selection/orientation. The bookmatched doors are a really nice visual.
    Classic lines,and cherry. Very well done.

    PS. If it were for me there would be no hardware. I'd have a finger pull ledge routed to the bottoms of the drawer edges. Personal preference though.

    Once again. Nice work all around.

    It's a great looking bathroom that deserves fine pieces like that. It's almost a shame to hide them in there - they look wonderful. They will provide lots of needed storage. I'm green with envy! Great work!!

    Dovetailed drawers, eh Gail? Did you dust off the Akeda for that project? How was it? I have not used mine since I got it, a combination of not needing it at the present time and the quirkiness of the jig. Any tips for me, like under or oversized bits, technique, etc...?

    Very nice work. I like seeing what the folks in America's hometown are buying.

    Hey Gail.......those are wonderful! Jason beat me too it but I also noticed right off the good job you did matching the grains - both on the drawers as well as the panels in the doors! Definitely shows you have a good eye for detail which is easy to tell looking at your work! Man - you are bangin' 'em out girl....you are one busy lady!! Will ya just slow down a tad - you are making me tired!

    Great job Gail. Love the matching grain. Anything in cherry looks good to me.

    Gail,
    Really nice job matching the grain. Very nice looking cabinet.

    Does this get a sink and or top on it?

    Again, good job.

    Wonderful work, Gail. I really like the linen cabinet! Show us another pic when you get the glass doors installed.

    I'm with the rest of the gang on this one, Gail. Excellent job, nice grain-matching and continuity, and overall just sweet as can be. It's no wonder you seem to get a steady flow of work.
