What?? More Woodworking?
Just to change the subject matter from tool company trades, electrical
theory, and software deals, I am just about to pull the trigger on the office file cabinet/bookshelf for our home. For the past 14 months I have had customers lined up and have not been able to get started on this. For the past week I have been tweaking and playing around with different wood combinations. I have come up with a cost of right at $1,400.00 fir materials, hardware, and tax. There is a lull. The link below shows the, I think final version, file cabinets and book cases to fill the entry wall to the office in our home. I believe I have shown this before, with a ladder. Any way I have included in the drawing two versions, one with cherry panels and white oak framing and one with walnut panels and white oak framing. I also included the cherry and white oak desk that I build for the office about 3 years ago. I will probably go with the cherry again to match the desk. All pieces are to scale, the desk is just a tad taller than a door opening and 8 feet wide. The wall cabinets will be just over 10 feet wide and just over 10 feet tall. https://www.flickr.com/photos/lcb112...posted-public/ |

It works on IE, but not on a Firefox derivative, where I have adblock plus and no-script running. IE must be happy to read or write some cookies, or something. On the later, flickr requests that I sign in. |

When I built our entertainment center, I built the everything but the panels out of alder and used cherry for the panels. When built you couldn't tell any difference in the color. That was 10 or 12 years ago. The cherry has darkened nicely. I like the contrast, but I'm sure some wouldn't. -- What if a much of a which of a wind gives the truth to summer's lie? |

The always seals the deal. The cherry on the desk is about 3~4 years old now and is just starting to contrast the white oak nicely. Normally I would not consider the walnut but this unit will not be visible from the hallway outside the office. You look in and see the desk. To see the wall unit you have to come into the office and turn around to see it. But still cherry is what we decided to go with for the same reason you pointed out. |
