I have been dealing with my father's health issues for the past 6
weeks and have been having to squeeze in the work of the curio
cabinets when I can.

Anyway I will be contacting my glass man tomorrow with
measurements for the glass and mirrors. The vack upper cabinets
get the mirrors and all the other open spaces get the tempered
glass. Then 3 glass shelves in each upper cabinet.


Sheese - very nice! Like I said - I just love walnut! What did
you use for your panels?


Walnut. :-). The vertices side panels are 1/4" walnut plywood. The
horizontal top and mid panels are solid walnut.


Where do you get your walnut ply from? Is it full 1/4"? What kind
of price do you have to pay?


I buy from Hardwood Products or Hardwood Lumber/AKA Clark's hardwood
lumber in Houston. No, it is not full 1/4" That sheet, Walnut on the
good side, Maple/Birch on the other side was $56.


Thanks Leon. I just talked to a new distributor today who sells full 1/4"
walnut finished both sides for $85. Don't know what one side finish would
cost. I'd be fine with one side walnut and then stain the inside since it
really won't be seen well enough to know the difference anyway.

You'd never match the color.
If it were a door it would stand out, if it were the side of a hutch or
book case it would stand out.
Inside a bottom cabinet ... no one would know really. you could actually
leave it light colored so one gets more reflection to see in there.
