The cabinets will soon be installed in an Artists Studio in The Sea Ranch They are made of VG Douglas Fir frames and Striated Fir Panels The Casework is hardwood 9-ply with VG Fir edging

The doors are Striated Fir	It is laid out in a Random Pattern	This is the CPU and printer cabinet	... a close up of the doors
2 filing drawers and regular doors .... notice the vertical layout of the drawer fronts	Here is a close-up of the 5 piece drawer fronts	Here is a matching set of drawers	This is one of two sets of upper cabinets ..... notice the asymmetry of the panel layout
	We played with the panel grain direction	Here is another lower cabinet with narrow drawers for supplies
	This is how these cabinets were constructed for the Art Studio
The rough wood for the styles and rails	It is first jointed then planed Then cut to size	.. and coped on a shaper	...... and then the molded edge is added to the rails
Each piece is hand cut, fitted, and shaped	Here is the wood set out for the Tansu style panels	the pieces are kept flat and clamped together	Here are all the panels laid out
The panels are pressed in my vacuum press	Here are some of the panels ... out of the press	.... here are the rest of the panels .... relaxing before I cut them to size	Here I am machining the rabbit
The each panel is hand sanded	and the styles and rails are "just hanging out" ready for assembly	..... but first .... I put a sealing coat of varnish on the panels	here the panels are sprayed on a turntable
some of the doors are glued up and left 2 days to cure	here are the shaped pieces for the doors	all of the panels have been sealed and scrubbed	more door pieces
another batch glued up	here are some of the doors out of clamps	the corners are hand detailed	and finish sanded before spraying with conversion varnish
The ends are hand finished	here is a set of the 3 upper doors such beautiful wood	The inside of the cabinet door panels are vertical Douglas Fir	Here the doors cure between coats of conversion varnish
More doors and drawer fronts curing between coats	Each door is "scrubbed" before the final coat of satin conversion varnish	Here are 2 of the 5 Bamboo counter tops after a coat of conversion varnish
