    New Entertainment Center

    My son and his wife wanted a new entertainment center for their TV and other equipment for their family room. We measured their components and designed a cabinet to meet their needs and fit their space. They wanted it made out of cherry. The finish is two coats of Watco Danish Oil Finish in natural color and actually appears darker in person than it does in the photos. The cabinet is solid cherry except for the back panel.

    Very nice. I'm sure they are happy with that. I like the figure in that cherry.

    They have plans for a larger TV, which is why they wanted this design cabinet.

    Nicely Done Lee! how thick are your door panels? Did you resaw, edge glue and then finish plane or take another route?

    The door panels are 1/2" thick in 3/4" thick frames, they are inset in the front and and flush on the inside. I planed down some 3/4 cherry to make the panels. The panels were edge glued before planing and fit nicely in my 12-1/2" planer.
