Popular Post Dknapp34 Posted July 17, 2018 Popular Post Report Share Posted July 17, 2018 Wife commissioned me to build a cabinet to hold all of our coffee stuff. Coffee and espresso machine will sit on top and inside will have a drawer for espresso pods and coffee filters, etc., plus mugs and carafes. The case is made from butternut and the panels on the doors are made from some pretty awesome 1/16" thick veneer from Certainly Wood. Here's the progress so far: 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan G Posted July 17, 2018 Report Share Posted July 17, 2018 Nice! Certainly wood seeks small qty or is this part of a larger order? Been meaning to get some butternut and play around with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been meaning to get some butternut and play around with it. They take any size orders. I order a single sheet of 15"W x 124"L QS Wenge. They charge shipping, so its cheaper if you buy in quantity, but they will ship a small order. I received mine the next day after I spoke with a sales person there (of course I only live an hour away). They are very friendly and have a pretty awesome selection of veneers. I've bought from them once before and would highly recommend them. Butternut is ok. I like the look a lot, but it's hard to find without a lot of imperfections. I am ok with some small ones that give it character, so long as they aren't so bad that it starts to look "rustic." The color varies a lot and so do the grain patterns. Some boards have a greenish look to them, which is not very pleasant IMO. I've also found that the density varies greatly and the boards that are less dense tend to tear out and get the fuzzies when you mill them with straight knife machines (the segmented cutterhead on my jointer does a good job, the straight knives on my planer, not so much). The denser stuff machines fine, however. All that said, if you can get your hands on some relatively clear stock with a nice color, it's beautiful. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leaseman Posted July 17, 2018 Report Share Posted July 17, 2018 Assuming I'm understanding this right, your using 1/16 veneer for the door panels, no substrate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I veneered the 1/16" wenge onto 3/8" BB ply (one on each side, so the panel was balanced). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coop Posted July 18, 2018 Report Share Posted July 18, 2018 This is sweet. How did you attach the panel to the frame? Nice dt’s as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The panels are floating in grooves in the rails and stiles. Rails and stiles are attached to each other with dominoes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dknapp34 Posted August 21, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2018 Been busy at my real job lately so progress has been slow, but I basically finished the case and am starting to work on the wenge legs. This is them cut to size and clamped in place just to get a sense of what it's going to look like. The legs will get a generous roundover, so they won't be so boxy looking. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wdwerker Posted August 21, 2018 Report Share Posted August 21, 2018 Nice clean lines ! How is the drawer going to work behind sliding doors ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How is the drawer going to work behind sliding doors ? Forgot to take a pic of that. I used over-extension slides. They extend about an inch and a half out past full extension. It's enough to clear the overhang created by the sliding doors. Drawer fronts are zebra wood: 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gee-dub Posted August 21, 2018 Report Share Posted August 21, 2018 Very nice looking cabinet going on there. I like the material selections. Nice complimentary contrast. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wdwerker Posted August 21, 2018 Report Share Posted August 21, 2018 Overtravel slides are great . If you put " 05" on the end of any KV slide number instead of "00" that is the overtravel number. They are also handy when the opening is 23 1/2" deep a 22" overtravel slide lets build a 23" deep drawer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were easy to install but there is an overwhelming number of different types of slides out there so it was kind of hard to find exactly what I needed. I still prefer not to use metal slides, but for something like this it was the only viable option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
