JayWC Posted October 2, 2012 Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 After building 5 dressers/hutches for resident rooms and a riser block as a test modification to raise the TV for one of the rooms, I was asked to build an armoire for another room in the facility. It's red oak with Client selected stain and hardware. They wanted solid wood construction (plywood back, side panels and drawer carcasses were the exceptions) and ball bearing drawer slides. They're thinking long term furniture. I only wish they had selected another wood species...I proposed several including butternut. It sounds like they have three more projects up and coming. I know the photos in place aren't great as I used my phone camera, but I'll replace them when I go back to measure the next project.

pghmyn Posted October 3, 2012 Report Share Posted October 3, 2012 I always love seeing the before (pile of wood) and after (finished project) in wood working. It is amazing what can be done. Great work! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
