Not poplar? I guess I wasn't paying enough attention to detail.

Sure you do. You rinse its mouth out with any solvent which will take
that butt fugly color off it, too. But ya got a point.

Too, too familiar. Almost as bad as whitewashed wood.

Thanks ... getting the 'frame-within-a-frame' design element on those
last two cabinets was very important to the client. Both sets of
cabinets had some out of the ordinary spec's ... not fancy, just made it
more fun than a carcase and a face frame.

Hey, Swing. Are you going to use the glass shelves direct in the
wooden housings, then affix the mirror door to them, too? I thought
these were boxes to hold the entire Kohler cabs.
P.S: Do you know what finish the end user will use (probably smear) on
it?

Run back through the photos and you will see there are four cabinets,
with two separate styles:
Two flush mount medicine cabinets for over the sinks in two bathrooms.
Two glass shelf cabinets going over the commodes in the two bathrooms.

Yep, it appears so ... after physically seeing a prototype chair I built
with poplar using General Finishes "Java" Gel Stain, it will be most
likely be literally smeared thusly.:)
The poplar prototype chair, with some pretty bodacious poplar popsicle
colors in it (lime green, I'm told), turned out not all that bad, and
you can see the grain:

Turns out it is exactly the effect this particular client was looking
for, but didn't know how to achieve ... (AAMOF, I gave him that _old_
leftover can of Java gel stain, and some project maple scraps to
practice on, and he apparently likes what he's getting.
Besides, not my problem (for a change) ... ;)

You don't look in the mouth of ten dollar chair from a garage sale.
Besides, that chair is at least 100 years older than we are, and abused
by some misguided female (refinished) ... sound familiar? LOL
