re: Walnut Wall Unit (added new slideshow)

Thanks Everybody,
lanwater, you can tint the pre-cat, it has all the same characteristics of regular lacquer.
I’m not sure if they make a brushing grade pre-cat, I always spray. I’m sure if they did and you tinted it you would have a hard time getting an even color. I didn’t explain myself very well, I stained the unit first (believe it or not) using Minwax Gunstock stain then lacquered over it.

Thanks L/W, My first time using this type of lighting. Very impressed at the ease. I used the LOOX brand LED’s from Hafele, everything is plug and play. LED’s have a 8’ lead with a plug on the end, just plug into the transformer which has room for 6 plugs. Then just select the style switch that comes with an 8’ lead that also just plugs into the transformer and done.

Thanks David, I was worried about the strength of the floating shelf, those geodes are heavy.
The black pipe solution worked great, got the idea from my bar clamps.

Thanks Mike, I’m not embarrassed to use plywood, now if it was an mdf core I might have hid that fact. lol I try to use a plywood core whenever possible. I also demand a domestic plywood over any import plywood. It’s worth the extra cost and is an added benefit to OUR economy as well.
Import products will double your work and lower the quality, Buy American!
