Default Another job completed

On August 27 I started buying white oak for an entertainment center that
I build for a customer. In the middle I took a week vacation so this
job took me about 8 weeks.


Approximately 83" wide x 82" tall. And it weighs a ton, well maybe not
quite that much. The towers and center upper cabinet are all one piece
and bolted to the bottom cabinet top through slots made with the Domino.
The slots will allow the solid oak top expand and contract. I used
5/16" x 2" bolts threaded into inserts on the bottoms of each tower.

Old master gel varnish for the finish, 3 separate coats and 3 separate
wipe on's and down's for each coat.

Please take a look and any comments or questions are welcome.

Starting at the top, Double click the pics to enlarge.

Nice job, but one piece top, how do you carry that without breaking it.
There doesn't seem to be enough meet to hold that together without
twisting it.

Why not make it 3 pieces to transport???? Just asking, not criticizing.
I assume you have something up your sleeve.
