Congratulations! The work, indeed, is very proffesional (and artistic).

[Jason Tuinstra]

Um.... wow! That's down right nice. Start making those business cards, cuz I think you're going to be busy. Fabulous work. The center cabinet looks great, especially with those feet. Nice job.

P.S. Why the four euro hinges on the center door?

[Jim Ketron]

Looks great!

[Jim Becker]

Outstanding work, Paul! I really like the center cabinet...something I'm contemplating for when we eventually re-do our master bath.

[Bob Marino]

Paul,

Absolutely gorgeous.

But how about some info on the joinery, finish, etc.? Can't wait to see what you can do to a kitchen, after seeing what you did to the bathroom!!

Paul, absolutely beautiful! :D

[Paul B. Cresti]

Bob,
Thanks for the compliments. The wood is cherry and the finish is (2) coats of 1lb shellac (sealer coat), (2) coats of Bartley Gel stain (PA cherry) and (2) coats of water based precat. conversion varnish and rubed out with steel wool and top coated with paste wax.

Todd,
thanks for the compliment. Yea this took me a little too long between the designing, needing to set up the new shaper to make the molding...all in all I guess it was about 8 weeks start to finish.

[Paul B. Cresti]

Jason,
I put (4) Blum hinges on the upper cabinet because of the added weight of the mirror. As per Blum specs it was border line for three hinges, but as an Architect I always err on the side of safety and went with (4)

[Brad Schmid]

Very nice Paul. I really like the center cabinet too. Wonderfull placement of the grain pattern on the door.
