My last few projects

[JBag09]

Over the last 2 months, mainly just weekends, I've worked on a kitchen island and TV stand out of cherry. I used dominos almost everywhere on both projects. Not sure how I ever managed without one for all those years. Certainly makes things a lot easier and faster. Along with my TS55 and various sanders, drills and the Kapex, it's almost to easy, sort of. [big smile]
The kitchen island was made from Maple plywood and solid maple. Was the first cabinet I ever had to paint, so took a chance and just used a foam roller. It came out okay, but I need to come up with a spray booth to use in the shop. Dovetailed the drawers and had soft close slides on them. Just waiting for the customer to have the granite installed on the top.

The TV stand was made from solid cherry and cherry plywood. Again had dominos everywhere in this and it made glue up easy.

Some great looking work there.  That's some nice tiger maple on the sides of that one drawer.  Thanks for the photos!

Thanks guys. @mike__aa That maple was kind of a lucky find. It was actually being thrown out at my work, was originally 8/4 that was resawn, that was the falloff. I grabbed every piece I found and knew exactly what I could use it for. It's a shame stuff like that gets tossed out, but it's one of those perks of the job for me.

Every time your customer opens that drawer, the tiger maple should bring a smile to their face.  Nice way to have them remember your craftsmanship!  I wish I was lucky in finding wood like that! LOL
