This TV stand/entertainment center is made with Mahogany and Mahogany plywood. Floating side panels with exposed mortise and tenon construction, pinned with dowels. Top is true breadboard end construction. Finished with 4 coats of Minwax tung oil finish. It’s 48” tall x 53” long x 23” deep. Back slides open/closed (last 2 photos) to make access to hook up electronics easier. Side cabinets have adjustable shelves and antique replica glass. I plan to install lights in the side cabinets tomorrow.
Tenons are a little longer than I would have liked, but I got scared they’d be too short and stopped trimming them.
I made it tall because I want the TV high, and so my subwoofer will fit under the cabinet. This is the largest and most complicated project I have yet to attempt. It was a pleasure to make. I love the natural mahogany finish.
I’ll update with a new photo once it’s in place and everything is installed. I’ll wax it in a few weeks once the oil has fully cured.
Anyway, I hope it “measures up” and inspires someone.378123378124378125378126378127378128378129 378130
