Here's a commisioned project that ended today (almost). The client is going to call his sheetrock guy to float above the lowered mantle, then I will return to install the final mouldings around the chest-high counter-tops.
This is walnut with a cordovan stain and satin lacquer. About 6½ weeks in all (not elapsed), maybe a little more. It took over a week just to install (included in that time frame).
That's a 52" projection TV housed behind those solid walnut raised panel flipper doors. The bottom doors are 28¼" wide and 53" tall each. Top doors are 16" tall. I made everything from 3/4" walnut ply, 1/4" walnut ply and solid walnut stock.
The lighting, on the top display shelf, comes in from each side (instead of straight down from the top) with some walnut custom fixtures I made to house the dimmable halogen lights. The fixtures pivot and rotate to adjust the lights.
Also included here is a picture of the clients attempt at an Oak built-in before he called me. It was not bad for his first woodworking project, but an accumulation of poor tolerances had him at a loss for how to "fix it". I fixed it by starting over. ;)
I'll have the full story on my web site in a couple days. Thanks for looking.
