These are going to Kansas City. Tiger maple with an antique cherry dye. Nice rat tail hinges. One open to the right and one opens to the left. 29" tall and about a 17: deep corner. One solid shelf and one adjustable shelf. Tried to match all the boards for the fronts. What I do is to use 1 board for the sides and face frames. Then 1 board for the door stiles and rails and 1 board for the panels.

Outstanding work, as usual Bob. Did you turn your own door pulls, nice touch with the rat-tails.

I wish I could say I did, but I got them from a place called 'Nice knobs" . They do make some "nice knobs". The rat tails are an upgrade I offer to my clients. I think they are worth every penny. I am working on a flame birch chimney cupboard with tulip rat tails. Hope to get that done in the next couple weeks. Should be spectacular. Thanks for the kind words. Your work is every bit as good as mine. bob

Bob, as usual, beautiful, absolutely beautiful, where do you get your hinges? Fisher Forge? A-1 sir. What is your ratio of dye to water if I may ask?

Wow Bob those are great. I am now seeing that you don't spend all of your time on the computer.

 

I love the way you matched up the boards. Very creative. I also like the hinges. Really set it off.

 

Very good for a tech guy!!!

Yep, fisher forge. Dave does very nice work.

As for Mr. Moody, I'm happy to leave all the tech stuff for him. He's my hero!

 

The board matching was something I learned from another good woodworker. It does make it something nice.

The dyes I mix are always 1 oz. to 1 qt of hot water. But I predye with dilute black first. It really helps the figure come out.

Another question Bob, do you need to use distilled water with dyes?

I use our tap water, which is well water. I did use distilled the first few times, but I have not had an issue with our well water. I think if you have water with a high mineral content, like iron, you may have issues. The dyes are very reasonable for me. The cost is around 30$ for a pound of dye, which , as I make it would make 32 qts of dye , or 8 gallons. The metal complex are more.bob
