    I don’t mean to put you down, but instead of spending your whole winter working on this, you could have just bought something with the same build quality and appeal from a master craftsperson for thousands of dollars.

    That’s really nice! It’s so beautiful. The slats on the cabinets are nice since it allows you to put electronics in there like a receiver while still maintaining air flow and it’s nice to have a pattern to break up the flat wood of the middle drawer…

    Did you finish the boards yourself?

    I made a mistake and got a surface planer instead of a jointer, and I haven’t gotten around to making a jointer Jig, so my woodworking has been on hold.

      Yes I got some high-quality walnut plywood and some solid walnut too. My finish is 3 coats of wipe-on poly cut with a little mineral spirits, then 3-4 coats of paste wax. Extra wax on top.
