Thank you all for taking the time to view and comment on my project. Let me respond to each of your kind entries:
BB1 - Thanks. The wifey wanted a "matched" master bedroom set in Mesquite. I said "sure, if I can build it in the G&G style." It turned out to be a great compromise...
987Ron - Thank you. Nice thing about Mesquite, no need to add color. A simple finish looks best...
Steve Rasmussen - Thanks Steve. Kinda "lucked" into how good the G&G details and the Mesquite lumber looks together. When we decided to try this combination, we had our doubts. But now, we're addicted to the look...
Ron Stewart - Thanks Ron. Yeah, Mesquite has lots of character. Fortunately, the wife embraces the look. It's definately unique...
Oldtool - Appreciate the comment about the base. I put a lot of effort into that too. Thanks...
RyanGi - Thanks for the questions. Yes, the panels are "housed" within the surrounding frame(s). I've added an additional pic that shows the hinges. It's hard to see, but I recessed the hinges into the back rail so that the top would close flush against the leading (top) edges of the frame. Thanks again...
Splinter - Thanks for the kind words. Yeah, this thing is a load. Mesquite is pretty dense. Those square plugs are a labor of love. When making them, I just sort of "zone out." It's one of the few times in the shop that I treat myself to an adult beverage while working!
Pottz - As always, thank you. Your outstanding G&G table (found while searching on Google) is what led me to this site. More than glad to be here. Gracias...
