I'd love to see it photographed against a white backdrop to get a less cluttered impression of the colours - but t looks very distinct.
Is there a story behind the handle? I can't make out f it's a skull or a mouse.

Really cool! LOVE the door pull! I've always liked that suspended cabinet look. The only thing it needs is a statue of a giant gold sparkle coloured dog in s&m gear on top of it then it would be perfect. (Referring to my oddball project). In all seriousness, great job!

I think the overal design of the cabinet is very nice, love the colours, but the crow-skull handle and the butterfly inlays don't work for me.

Charles, Is there a structural purpose for the butterfly inlays? Do they cover wedged tenons or are they pure decorative? |

As far as the finish goes, it's mainly 3 coats of brush on satin poly. Some difficult areas got 3 to 5 coats of wipe on satin poly instead.the top was finished of with paste wax.
As for the butterflies they hide the mounting hardware for the top
There is no story behind this piece I just went down to the shop and started making it one day. Now I need to find someone who wants it( the hard part ).

As with Kreg, I like the contrasting timbers, they are quite bold and not thought to put together 'till now.
Did you have a design reason for the top and bottom rails to run through left to right rather than the more common way of the stiles running fully top to bottom?
Lovely project.

i think when im standing at the cabinet looking down i wanted to see the edge clean all the way across instead of looking at the joints, if that makes any sense. |
