Mid-Century Stereo Cabinet
In walnut, of course. Collaborative design with the client, made to fit between two doors. Natural finish with hand rubbed oil & varnish.
Fussiest part of the job: After gluing up the door, the client wanted to change the slats from pure rectilinear form with lightly eased edges to bullnose edges and ends. I wasn't about to re-do the whole thing if I could avoid it. So, after a couple of hours holding my breath while whittling away with a block plane it actually came out pretty nice. Good call on his part. Very flattered that it shares space with a Hans Wegner piece.
What I like best about it: Never touched by sandpaper (except for the legs). 100% blade and scraper finish adds amazing depth and brightness to the surface. Just be sure everything is REAL sharp
What I liked least: Walnut sure does stink!

working with my hands is a joy,it gives me a sense of fulfillment,somthing so many seek and so few find.-SAM MALOOF.
That’s a gorgeous piece. I love the walnut and the finish you applied to it.
Nice save after the client’s poorly timed change request.
Those Emotiva components are produced about two hours north of us.

Great looking piece of fine furniture. I can see the mirror like shine on that finish
