As many of you may recall I build an 8'x 8' country pantry for our home
late last year. That piece has influenced the design and sell of the
next 5 pieces of furniture that I have built and am currently building.
Again this piece is built with front and back face frames, All pieces
of the face frames, front and back, have dado's to receive the cabinet
panels. All cabinet panels are fitted together with dado's. 20 dado's
in all. Front face frame pieces are held together with domino tenons
and the back face frame pieced are held together with rabbeted lap
joints. This makes for a nice enclosed frame for the back panels.
So far the panels have two coats of varnish and the face frames have 1
coat of varnish. I'll add a couple more for the face frames and another
for the outer side panels.
There will be 6 drawers, 3 each side under the electronics slot.
As Swingman has said, it sure is nice to build something that you can
move all by yourself.

Why the #$%^ not? ;) Maybe the servers were overloaded by the time
you got around to viewing the site. The links worked fine for me on
Friday.
I cussed at my computer last night when it hung up during the Windows
Update. That scared it enough that when I had to unplug it to shut it
off this morning, it came back and played nicely. (whew!)

Truly Inspirational. Nice execution of contrasting woods/ colors. I really like that look.

Very nice. You're big on the contrasting wood appearances. Do you
stain the face frame before installation or after?

Thank you. I design everything on Sketchup and add the wood color of
choice as a material for a pretty realistic sample. The large pantry
project was originally going to be all dark stained, then just natural
color for the just the doors and drawers, and finally added natural
color on the sides. Because I have a Sketchup model drawing of my home
I inserted the pantry model into the house drawing and found that to be
quite helpful in knowing how much dark to use.

Thank you, I have gotten numerous compliments on the two colors. The
dark was originally intended to match the Espresso colored maple kitchen
cabinets in our house. It is a very close match.

Thank you.
Before and at least 1 coat of varnish. I am using a dye stain and it
handles like it is thinner than water. It drips from the
brush/applicator if you just think about it. Therefore the staining
happens prior to assembly of the major components so that the stain is
on where I want it.

I find my tastes changed to more simple wood grain selection, and
functional designs, over the years.
In my early years I viewed multiple contrasting woods and wild grain
patterns in a piece as "wow factors", and somehow an indication of
higher craftsmanship ... learned early on that is rarely the case.
Leon, on the other hand, has an inherent knack for using both tasteful
contrast and grain matching that actually does indicate attention to
detail and a higher quality of craftsmanship.
To see his pieces in person is a treat, the execution of his meticulous
planning is evident in everything he designs and fabricates.
