Dining room buffet

[Hunter Wallace]

So I was just looking at Lou's Tall Case Clock before firing
this thread up and, man, gives me a touch of an inferiority
complex!!!:D

But, alas, I'll suck it up and post these anyway....

Cherry, birdseye and walnut buffet. BLO/turp/urethane
with wax on the top. The drawers HAD some nice hand-cut
dovetails:( ; next time I'll apply the beading BEFORE cutting
them!! DOH!!

[Ken Fitzgerald]

Very nicely done Hunter! I like the project especially the finish!

[Kyle Stiefel]

Hunter,

Fine work and as Ken already stated the finish came out wonderful. I am envious in that you can finish a project with only 1 Doh!!

[tod evans]

nice piece hunter!

[Chris Daigh]

Thats a very nice looking buffet. The birdseye looks great and I like the draw pulls.

[Jim Becker]

That is absolutely gorgeous, Hunter!

[Bob Winkler]

Beautiful work, Hunter. That's my favorite combination- maple and cherry. Very well done.

[Jim W. White]

Very, very nice!! .....gorgeous

I love birds-eye with cherry, and the black walnut goes with the two just as well, I'll have to try that in the future. Thanks for the inspiration.

[John Miliunas]

Simply beautiful, Hunter! :) Great proportions, nice details and a wonderful mix of woods. Well done!!! :) :cool:

[Jacob Snow]

Got the plans for that beauty?

[Christopher Stahl]

I think it's fantastic. I'm always a sucker for cherry and maple. :)

[Hunter Wallace]

Thanks for the kind words gents....

and Jacob, if you could UNDERSTAND my plans
you're welcome to have them, cuz there were
times when I sure as heck had a hard time with them!!!

[Corey Hallagan]

wow, that is a sweet piece of furniture. Nice job.

Corey

[JIm McMullen]

Very nice, Hunter. Anytime birdseye turns out well I'm impressed. Keep up the good work!! Jim

[John Timberlake]

Very nice job of design and execution. To show off the dovetails, just make the beading small so it does not cover them up.

[Roy Wall]

Hunter,

That is a beauty!! Excellent work.........you've got a winner!!!

Is that a little suspended shelf in the back (on top)???

[Deirdre Saoirse Moen]

Very nice. Pity I didn't save the napkin from tonight's dinner -- I was sketching something remarkably similar and was going to have another go at SketchUp to see how it looked.

[Gail O'Rourke]

Great project - the piece is beautiful as the wood just gorgeous.

[Alan Turner]

Very nice job of design and execution. To show off the dovetails, just make the beading small so it does not cover them up.

Hunter,
John has the cockbeading pegged. Here are a couple of diff. drawers where the beading is held narrow. In the true traditional beading, the top and bottom of the drawer fronts would be fully beaded, and the sides would be beaded back just a drop into the pins, using a stop miter for the corner joints. Beading was originally used to protect the edges of veneer on drawerfronts, I have oft read.

Nice work.
