Stilted cabinet!

[J. Z. Guest]

VERY nice. Those are sure some thin pins on those dovetails.

Who was it built for? Was there a specific use for which it was designed?

Chris,

There is nothing I might add to the compliments already given. I will, however, add another "thank you" for sharing this most wonderful piece for our enjoyment.

That's simply stunning. You better get to work because the rest of your furniture is probably going to look outclassed. Are the door panels QSWO too? It's hard to tell from the pics but they sort of look like ambrosia or splated maple. I'd love to see a closeup of the round section behind the door hardware if you've got one.

That is absolutely gorgeous...

[Michael Handrinos]

Well done !!! You should be very proud producing a piece as nice as that. The care and attention to detail really stand out and say alot about you as a craftsman.

Where did you pick up the brass? Great looking cabinet!

I had a local machine shop make the solid brass bushings. I mounted them on my wood lathe, wet sanded to 600G and then coated with a clear laquer.

The door panels and drawer fronts are spated maple. They actually have some curley in them too, but hard to see in the pics.


Thanks to everyone for the nice comments!!!!!

[Doug Shepard]

DOH! Thanks for straightening me out. I read your post 2-3 times and managed to miss with spalted, curly maple panels every time.

Chris,

For some reason, I never saw your box until this morning !

I'm not that keen on the legs, don't dislike them, just don't care for them.

BUT . . .

I love the cabinet !! I'm a fan of "Asian" style stuff and really love that ! The front with the stiles bulged out for the clasp really is beautiful !!!

I am going to steal that idea !! <g>

And the craftsmanship on the dovetails is something I could only dream about.

That is one of the best box/cabinets I have ever seen on this board or any board.

And, it's better than some of the stuff I have seen in Fine Woodworking !!

Thanks for showing this piece to us

[Thom Sturgill]

Wow! That is definitely a piece that speaks well for both your craftsmanship and design sense, and does it in volumes! Congratulations on a very nice piece and thank you for sharing.

[Dennis Lopeman]

You should post this in the Projects thread... or whatever it's called... They should call it the Show-Off Area!!!

That's one awesome piece... my wife will love it - she likes Orient influenced stuff...

[Pete Harbin]

Really stunning Chris!
