I started this solid Oak entertainment center months ago. I installed it last month and finally the LCD TV showed up so I could finish the fireplace facade. The wires had to be run behind the facade in a dado to the stereo cabinet so it couldn't even be installed until the TV and it's cords arrived from Japan.
Finally, I got to the finish stage. I used water based Satin Poly and sprayed poly for the first time using the "new to me" Preval sprayers. They are very small and cost only $3.19 at HD's. I love these sprayers, very easy to operate and I used only 5 during the entire three coat process.
So here are the pics. I will finish the door construction tonite and tomorrow and get them installed tomorrow afternoon and post the final pics. I am lucky that I finally got a client that wanted solid wood instead of ply, I sure hope they aren't the last! They liked everything so much they have hired me to redo their deck in November (we're almost booked for the rest of the year now).
The last pic shows the new high end stereo & TV equipment we installed today (a hobby of mine that might just get included in future jobs). The bracket is bolted to the studs behind the Oak with 1/2"x5" lags...rated for 250 lbs.
He bought Monster Power modules (I'd never seen them before) and one of them weighed over 80 lbs!! The sound is fantastic from the Bose 6.1 system. I have never seen a picture like the HDTV I saw today. Crystal clear doesn't cover it. I was in awe of the Doppler radar map we saw on the local channel. I sure would like on of those TV's someday.
