Digging through a stash looking for some cherry I found these. I'd forgotten I had them. They are maple and I'm planning on using them in a Krenov style cabinet for the doors.

Did a little work on one of the panels getting it flat. It ended up at 5/8, it had some pretty good twist in it. I'm thinking about leaving the wavy natural edge on both panels. I splashed a little DNA on it to pop the grain.

Beautiful work, John. This is not a criticism, but rather a design musing. I wonder if the wood would showcase better if the frame bits were a little narrower. I love the picture in your original post where you get the full impact of the book match.
