    Very Well Done! I sure do like those hinged stiles also. I'll keep that in mind.

    Terry,

    You did a great job on the EC! I really enjoy seeing all of the pieces, creations, and ideas of fellow woodworkers. You do nice work.

    The neat thing about this woodworking stuff is that you always learn something new on each and every project. Sometimes it's simply what not to do on the next project, but it's still learning. I'm glad to see you conquered the finishing problem, and I'm sure you learned something from it.

    Boy can I relate to that. It does have a way of making you really thankful for the time you do have in the shop though!

    Again, great job.

    Terry, the finished product looks a WHOLE lot better than the other pictures - maybe it's the lighting. Anyway, nice job! Wood looks great. Todd

    Terry,

    Your head looks a little swelled in your pic so I'll bring you down to earth a bit:

    What happens when you want one one of them newfangled Plasmas TV or, *shudder*, a LARGER television???

    ha, ha...nice flowing design and it looks tight and solid...

    Hats off to Hatfield!!!

    Terry, that looks fantastic. The figure of the door panels are a great touch. Seeing as how it looks better in person, when are you having us over? I'm sure we can all stop by some time I'll even bring the DVD's and pop (aka soda)!

    Thanks again everyone, very very much!! Glad you all like it!!

    Todd,

    I lightly sanded the light areas and applied just the dark walnut portion of the stain mix. I basically brushed it on and let it sit for a long time before barely wiping the excess. It really blended the lighter parts in much better. It's not perfect, but I'm happy with the result.

    Chris,

    Cheryl says I can NEVER have a TV any bigger than this one, so....I guess the EC will work from now on.

    Jason,

    Come on down any time!!! We love to have visitors around here.

    Terry, how about a close-up shot of the figure in the white oak?

    todd,

    Ask and ye shall recieve...sort of. Very difficult to get it to show up well in a pic for whatever reason, but here's a few. Hopefully you can get the idea. I still have more boards just like this 12" to 15" wide.

    That's just splendid, Terry! I never knew Oak could look that nice! We've got a LOT of Oak around here, but I can't seem to get anything that nice. Also, I don't know what mods you did to make it fit better, but you certainly kept the aspect of it very nice. Great job!

    I've just decided that white oak is my favorite wood. I've been cutting up lots of pen blanks, and there is a significant quantity of red oak, but there is some white oak too. I can even smell the difference between red and white oak when I cut it now. Maybe I'll invent a guy's cologne: "White Oak - For Manly Men" (I've had a long day...)
