i see you finally figured out how to use the flash on your camera.
Absolutely beautiful. What type of wood/finish is that? It looks like some streaks of red in the drawer fronts. Is that the wood or the finish? Do they call that a Breakfront cabinet?

When you start a project like that do you work off a set of plans or does the space dictate the overall deminsions, because it looks like it fit just in that space?
good job!

Jack ,
The wood is poplar and plywood, the stain is Old Masters wiping stain as far as plans the people i built theese for gave me a width and height sugestion and told me what the use was going to be for and said build it. The wood color one has the soft close drawer slides and they worked out well.
The white one the arches and doors were cut with aspire, the fluted colluns with part works. why do i get 2 photos on the post? What am i doing wrong?

Nice stuff Gene.
I never stained poplar but heard it stains nicely. Any special method to staining?
The white doors,,,,,are they also poplar?
What did you paint them with?

Gene,
possibly you are double clicking the file for upload although i don't think that can work.

When you enter your message in the "Add Your Message Here" box and you see the:

popjpeg{51747,}
make sure there is only one per line or per picture you upload before you hit the "post" button.

The white doors are mdf white 1 side doorcore . They are painted with a lac primer and gloss white lac. The photos loose so much details when you have to resize to up load them.
Thanks Jack , i'll try that > Gene

Gene in order to post your pictures at 640x480 you can go to www.xat.com and download jpeg optimizer that will allow you to keep the picture at 640x480 but lower the kilobyte size so you can post them. When you lower the size too little it does affect the resolution and quality of the pictures.
But lousey pictues can't hide the quality work you do!
