Finally... a completed project from my shop this season! I seem to get time for fewer and fewer projects these days, and this one’s been on my bench since spring. It’s an A&C/Mission style entertainment center made of quartersawn white oak and oak ply, with cherry bow tie inlays on the top. Dimensions are roughly 68” x 22”d x 29” high. Construction is mainly glued dados and pocket holes. The corbels are doweled, and the door grids are half lapped. The finish is a mixture of early american and colonial maple, with a poly clear coat. Most of the QSWO was salvaged from the Widmer Wineries.

Lovely, just lovely. You ought to be very proud of yourself.

Prolific is not the same as good - in most cases. There are exceptions. However, the point is to enjoy the build and then enjoy the results.

You done good. Enjoy.
 
Great job, Scott!!! Now the real question on this build.....which saw blades did you use????:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl: Jim.


Now there's a question! :D :huh: This thing was on my bench so long I prolly used most of my arsenal! Let's see...CMT 210.080.10 for the plywood, Amana RB1020 20T ripper, Infinity Dadonator, Infinity Super General, Infinity 010-060, DeWalt DW7640, and the Tenryu RS25550. :thumb:
