I'm looking at the picture of the door frames. Based on the chalked
triangles, I assume the rails from each door were ripped from the same
piece. Is this to match the grain? Did you consider ripping the two
center rail from the same piece instead? The center rails are next to
each other where the grain match would be more apparent. The whole
cabinet looks great BTW. What finish will you use?

Sorry, I'm confused re "center rails" ... do you mean stiles? The outer face
frame stiles of each door was picked to match the grain of the face frame of
the actual cabinet, not the door. (watch that camera flash, it plays tricks
at an angle).

Stiles were aactually picked primarily for their straightness/flatness,
which in the case of doors can be more important that a strict grain match
.... nice if you can get it, but a secondary consideration when the wood
stash of stock milled in the same batch is getting low.

The whole
cabinet looks great BTW. What finish will you use?

Thanks ... "Mission Oak" stain (made for Rockler by the Lawrence-McFadden
Co, one of the best stains MFGR's around) and an amber shellac top coat,
purposely to match other pieces in the same room/suite of furniture.

Pretty damn spiffy. But I've looked at it over and over and still
can't fibure anything triangular to put in it. Just in case you don't
know, Wllly World caries Rubber Ducky Yellow paint. Hehehe

And you forgot the most important part Leon. That's the buying of some new
tool you've had your eye on.

(How's the Domino working btw?)

It's working great. I am currently working on a couple of jewelry chests
using multiple thickness pieces. I ended up buying s4s maple for this
project and needed to glue up panels with minimal slipping between the
panels and needed to end up with 3/4" thickness and 1/2" when done. I used
the Domino more for alignment purposes during the panel glue up. I may have
had to remove 1/64" to flatten the panels after the glue up and that worked
out just fine.
