Hello All!
I have been wrestling with this for quite a bit of time trying to figure out the best way to use the figured cherry that I gloated over awhile back which you can see here - http://www.sawmillcreek.org/showthread.php?t=21278
My question is, what is the best way to use this wood in the wine cabinet that I drew up (see below).
32645
The widest board I have is 11 1/2" wide. I wanted to use it for the side panel but it's not wide enough for a single panel. This is why I added the center divider for the side. But, I just can't see cutting this gorgeous board in half. (The smaller board that I have is going to be used for the door panels.)
Here's my thought: The doors would have figured panels, the sides and back would not. To utilize the width of the board, I would use the wide figured cherry for the top. What think ye? Would it even look good for the top? This is why I go back and forth thinking that maybe I should just rip it in half and use it for the side panels.
Ahhh!!!! I feel like a ping-pong ball!:p :D
EDIT: I guess I should have welcomed critiques as well on the overall design. If anything is glaringly wrong, feel free to say so. I just hope that I don't get kicked out of the "Shaker Club" for the flared legs.
