Well I have been busy and haven't posted anything on here in a while so here is my latest cabinet.

The idea was to capture some aspects from mid century furniture, Jory Brighams Furniture, and Maloof's furniture and combine the three. The base is 6/4 walnut and I used the domino xl to join it together. The cabinet also has domino joinery along with plugged screws I used instead of clamps. This actually worked pretty slick turns out. I used a miller dowel bit for a hole then used regular pocket hole screws when i glued up the cabinet. afterwards i went back and turned the miller dowels upside down and cut off the remaining part of the dowels to cover up the screws. The drawers have Blumotion glides and the doors have pin hinges in them (thanks everyone for suggesting them in a previous post). Finally the back and drawer bottoms are painted to add to the mid century feel and I finished the wood with 4 coats of maloof oil.

I love the way you made the legs, it makes it look like the a floating cabinet.
 
You truly have an eye for design!  I wonder if you market these?  How easily can you reproduce these?  All that figured wood must make this a pricey piece?  It is very elegant.
 
What is the blue?  Is it a fabric?  That pastel really makes me think "Art-Deco"  alot of elements brought together here on this!
 
Thank ya all! and Rob Im ashamed to say the color is milk paint. however in the future it is going to be fabric. it took me about 35 hours to complete and I charged the customer around 1500$ for it which he thought was reasonable. I plan on making myself a piece very similar but much longer. this will get rid of the blocky look this one has.

thanks again
 
Beautiful piece. Based on what you set out to accomplish, in regards to frefucting your influences I think you hit a home run. Hard to beat maple and wslnut together, be it woodworking or ice cream! My only observation would be that you kind of gave it away... Your client hit a great deal!
