LOML wanted a dog kennel for our 2 doxies for the house. Then door slides inside the case. Used hard maple and 6 coats of a wipe I made myself. Then 4 coats of satin poly. It just got moved into the house.

That is by far the nicest kennel/crate I've ever seen. beats the heck out of those ugly plastic things!Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work. - Thomas Edison -
Very nice kennel - good design and great fininsh.
Hopefully your dogs are past the "I'll chew on anything" stage, since that little divider rail for the door-slide area would look particulary appetizing to my 1-year-old black lab, who still likes to naw at the bottoms of the door moldings.
I thought of buidling something similar, but would have to cover the "vulnerable" spots with aluminum molding or something.

That is one beautiful kennel/crate. Hopefully the dogs will not show their appreciation by promptly eating it!!!

If those dogs don't feel like royalty, I don't know why not. Nice job.

That looks awesome!
I hope your dogs treat it well. I had to weld reinforcing steel on the crate for my dog (who spends little time in it, but takes it as a moral challenge to need to destroy it if possible).Comment

That's plumb purty 'nuff to lock the kids up for 'safe keeping'!

That is beautiful! I don't dare let our 2 doxies see it or I will have to build one.Comment

Looks great and well done from the build angle of things. I would make a suggestion that you would benefit from a more "spacious" shop and a larger work-bench as it just makes things easier to accomplish.
Well done... and drink plenty of fluids with pottasium to avoid getting cramps in that tiny shop. ha.. ha... ha..ha..ha..
