Popular Post thewalnutguy Posted January 24, 2016 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 24, 2016 This project was built for a friend. The cherry is material I salvaged from my woods, milled and dried myself. The sheet goods first choice would have been pre-finished maple plywood, but the price of over $100 per sheet ruled that out. Local big-box lumber dealer had some 3/4 birch that was advertised as being full 3/4" thickness, so I decided to go with that.After hauling 12 sheets of the stuff home I discovered that although some of it measured 3/4", the thickness was variable from one sheet to the next, and sometimes even varied within a sheet. Hauled it back. Then decided to go with 3/4" Melamine. Really hated working with that stuff, due to 1) weight, and 2) dust resulting from cutting. Told my friend that he was going to be responsible for hauling the cabinets home, and he ended up doing the installation so I didn't have to wrestle with the cabinets. The project is a bit over 12 feet wide. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wnaziri Posted January 25, 2016 Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 I am currently making some cherry cabinets and the project is proving tedious so I have particular appreciation for your work. That looks great. Nicely done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
