    A few of mine for my own home in mahogany, walnut and sepele/sipo.
    Ok --- Glenn, I seriously love that wall cabinet! Are there any plans for that or did you work that one up yourself?

    Dale Barnard has a DVD on popular woodworking site that is similar. Robert Lang has plans for one in his book that is also similar.

    I just finished this:

    IMG_0790.jpg

    It's Darrel Peart's Aurora Table Desk in alder made from a plan set from Lee Valley. It's more of a prototype (hence the alder) to work out some of the construction details and I'll eventually make another one in sapele. One detail I won't use again will be the loose spline tenon on the breadboards. I'll use conventional wide tenons as the loose splines allowed one breadboard to sag a bit.

    Beautiful. I did a small table for my wife and utilized the same leg bottom detail.
    I met Darrel in Pasadena few years ago, great guy, a real Craftsman.

    Nice, but did you use the requisite "pocket screws and false joinery"?

    That one was inspired by a lovely piece done by Dale Barnard. If you Google "Greene and Greene Wall Cabinet" you will find him. Really beautiful work.

    I really had fun with the pull on that one.

    Well done Dave. I love that Blacker Leg treatment. I even used it on my dog's feed station.

    Pecan to match the kitchen stuff.

    that wall cabinet is beautiful. Very well done. But a question: what are the arrows in my picture pointing to? A shadow line? Something added to the left side? Was it photographed in a curved corner?
    Just curious. But a stunning cabinet - I love it.

    Ha-ha, that does look odd. It is just camera flash shadow. I am a low skill picture taker
