Im still working with the cherry, and thought Id give an update (but no pics this time).
Im in the process of cutting the solid cherry to widths needed, and have also been playing with the cherry plywood with the stain. I want to make sure everything is going to stain out the same, and will be nice and even when Im done. I also am going to be milling out the fluted trim. Ill be posting some photos of this process when I get to that point.
Ill be giving another update shortly, but everything is going as planned.

Weve got a nice painted cabinet project going. Though Ive known the clients for a while and have done a few repairs for them, I have to give my friend Ceil Petrucelli, of Ceil Petrucelli Interiors, some credit for getting them to come see about this project .... Shes a great interior designer and got the ball rolling with a concept sketch for them. The cabinet is about 88 x 50 x 16 " deep and will hold the tv/stereo equipment, books and photos, and at the same time, dress up a long blank wall. C lick the pictues below to enlarge them ....

Weve got an unusual 20" wide spalted maple board that will make a one piece top for the cabinet ,,,
