Its for a credenza that I am building. 1 3/4" would look to heavy for my taste.

I understand. My personal tastes run more toward the massive look, but everything must be in proportion.

Like the ash table and bench below, custom-made by a master craftsman.

Nice job

However,,










This is a masters work

Yes it is, but a bit too glossy for the piece IMHO.

LOL

Another 100 years and ya will never know!!


Ya can never have too much bling by the way..

The drawers were hand cut half blind dove tails

I wish I had taken pictures of the bed head board and foot and the mirror and vanity that went with it

The lady cried when she picked it up!!


I did that like 6 -7 years ago.

Dont take me wrong, i just think for a period piece of that era, the gloss finish is wrong, and takes away from its original finish and time period it was made originally.

Okay I'm lost on these last 3 post but I should point out that this was a kitchen island and not the Credenza. I'll get back to that eventually. The open space is for a microwave.

I totally agree ,, It was how the lady wanted it ,,,,,, she said when she was a kid it shined like new money and thats what she wanted ,,,,said she wasn't good to wax the thing all the time ,,this was a one owner item,,,,,,well she is gone now and I hear the stuff was tossed away ,...sad what the state does to peoples stuff when they take over ,,,,,, she didnt have a family to pass it down to ,,, I never charged her a dime ,, it was a privilege to even work on some thing like that...,, listen,,, ,I dont want to hijack your thread ,,,,,you are doing a great job here .

Cant wait to see the finished project.
