    I think the design and the wood match very well and enhance each other. Great work!

            Excellent work! It's one of those projects that really brings out the beauty of the material used. And the design would've worked just as well with a nice hardwood.

              Sorry, MBG, the only pics I have are overall, no detail stuff. Delivered it yesterday, not sure I can talk DIL into letting me do pics in her house.

              Funny you should mention those three items, though...all three were kinda wingin' it. Those were three things that I really didn't have a plan for how they were going to be when I did the plan. The legs were very much just trying different things till I found something that looked decent. The door was originally going to be two, then I could only get one set of the hinges I liked, so changed gears and adapted. The drawer pulls were literally glue up some stock, then start taking off material until it felt good in my hand. I almost outsmarted myself on that one, the first batch of stock I glued up had enough stock for six pulls, forgot about the door. Took me three tries to build one more that was similar enough to the others that I was satisfied.

                Very nice work. I always enjoy hearing about craftsman building one-of-a-kind pieces that come from the heart. Build on!

                        I like it very much … seems to have a bit of rustic touch to it but that could just be me … maybe the pine does that. It just doesn’t look “off the shelf” but unique in every way … I like the pulls and legs and the center arched door really adds.

                          Excellent details--as already mentioned the feet and stretchers really stand out. Plus the door is gorgeous.
