Project Information

This project was done for a client who provided the dimensions, request for walnut and wanted to unit to be construcked in pieces which could all be free standing. It consists of 4 units; the two book cases, the lower center unit for audio/video equipment, and the upper center unit for the plasma TV and base speaker.
I used the Festool Domino for joining many of the parts. Rabbit joints were also used. The finish is 3 to 4 coats of Waterlox, sanded between coats with 800 wet and dry and then waxed for a final finish.

I love walnut, that is gorgeous. /Something I wish I could make. Great job. You know some people don't like sap wood in the walnut and dye it and everything they can to hide it. Actually, I think it gives the wood character. I like it. jockmike

Thank you for posting this. I was thinking of building a large project using walnut but was concerned about it being too intense colorwise. This has changed my mind. Thanks.

I can't help but to drool over your project. Walnut is without question my favorite wood to work with and to look at.

Great piece! I'd have to take out a second mortgage to buy that much walnut here in south Louisiana.

Very beautiful project.

And how did the "Festool Domino" work? Did you pay for it with the money you made on this job ;^D
I'd love to have one!
