Not been on in a long while, but hope to be here more.  Here is one of the projects that's taken my time.  Alder is the wood.  The darker picture is what it looks like in natural (not close) light and the redish tone is with light directly on it.  I sprayed a Dark Walnut dyed lacquer (gloss) four coats and then two coats of satin. Because of the finish, I needed to spray in pieces and then assemble. All dimensions were from the client with my "tweaking". Fun, but at the same time a nightmare of pre planning, etc..  I like it and hope they do too. Thanks for checking it out.

Beautiful Russ.  Your work is always Grade A.

looks familiar.

That looks GREAT Russ!

beautiful Russ..

 

Love that color!

 

Perfect alignment of the door and plenty of "cord" ports. Beautiful build!

That's just the ticket. Great color. Really like the subtlety of the design. The feet are very nice. Sweet transition.

You did a great job on that Russ, and the finishing is superb.

Russ, it is looking good!  What did you use for joinery? Did you use your Powermatic mortiser?

Beautiful Russ...I too like the feet transition and the finish is spectacular. I hope you're on here more too especially with projects like this...Thanks for taking the time to share.

Great job Russ, I really like the color tone.

Thanks guys.  I'm glad you like the feet, cause they were a bear to do. I wish the doors had not come out darker, but it's a two-tone .... right?  All the same mix but the doors were sprayed flat as opposed to those other parts being vertical.  More material I suppose. I am most happy that I didn't get streaks as this is a problem with spraying colors whether with lacquer or stain. Danl. the joinery was grooves but not with a mortiser ..... just the table saw.  The sides are two pieces of beadboard so as to have the inside and outside the same.  The back and doors are only one piece. I would love to have sprayed this as one unit, but the small spaces just don't allow that. The color took me forever to work out, but turned out the way I was hoping for.  Good build all around but as always I have some learning to do...
