Gorgeous!
Fantasic use of recycled lumber. This is a great piece for an entry way or hall. Can you elaborate on the dementions a little. I would like to build something similar for our hall.
Nicely done!
The dimensions are customized for the space I have in my Mudroom: Roughly 67 x 84. I should add the moulding at the top is store-bought clear pine.... and the storage drawer and box bottoms are 1/4" plywood. The drawer interiors are faced with formica to stand up to constant storage use.
Finish is interior Black latex applied with a foam roller Very smooth.. looks like it was sprayed (5 coats) and finished with two coats (HVLP) Clear acrylic. All cherry finished with rub-on Poly (7 thin coats)
After everything had cured I glued the cherry trim pcs to the carcass with Urethane glue (A very thin coat limits foaming)
If you would like a set of the component drawings and a model view (Solidworks) send me an E-mail [email protected]
I also made a Queen sized bed from the remainder of the Oak siding, about 50% was sawn right from the center of the trees, which provided great Ray/Fleck figure... On this piece, some lathe nail holes are visible (but not in this photo) at the back bottom of the piece.
