beautiful piece. Thanks for sharing
Kevin, a really nice piece of work. Was this for your personal use or a customer?
Kevin, Very creative design and nicely executed. Did you design it yourself?
Thanks for the comments! I designed this myself for a client. They said they weren't sure yet but I went ahead and built it anyways because I liked they way it looked on paper. Just when I finished building it and was getting it ready for oil the original clients called me and decided they wanted it and to their surprise the wait time was minimal. I was slightly disappointed, really was looking forward to a new dresser in my room!...LOL
love the grain match across the entire front including the top and bottom rail though as i look closer it appears to be veneer over solid which dampens my enthusiasm slightly. too bad we can't see the top in the pics. not a huge fan of the base but whatever...nice job!
The veneer is actually pressed on MDF. I like to wrap my MDF blanks with solid 1/4" material, mitered all the way around, before I press the veneers. Also I like to use 1/16" thick veneers, this helps alot. I will post a pic of the top for you Geoff. I bookmatched it and the grain flows through both sides and the top. The bottom was a close match but doesn't flow around quite perfectly.
Way to manifest business Kevin. You must have had fun with this one. And it looks beautiful taboot.
Like others have said...stunning work. Would you mind explaining a little more about your process of wrapping MDF. Do you mean 1/4" hardwood, and is this in case of damage to the veneer? Anyway, I like your style...
Very nice job. Design and execution were well thought out. Bravo
