Hi everyone
LOML wanted a cabinet to hang her necklaces, so this is what I came up with
The doors are purple heart, the rest of the cabinet is maple. It doesn't show very well in the photo, but there is a narrow mirror on the left hand side.
This was a first for me working with Purple heart, I like it a lot although I did have a bit of tear-out. Other firsts include using knife hinges, and wipe-on poly and micro mesh sanding pads. I like the finish results on the doors but I am glad I didn't keep track of the number of coats. I took them back down to 400 grit three times and re-coated, there still are a few grain ripples but I finally called it quits.
LOML likes the results so that is the important thing!
