I'm also interested in pushing the technical boundaries of joinery work. in the case of this cabinet i'm using joinery with solid wood in places to make for a modern look normally achieved with veneered plywood.<br /><br />~CAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14328401081765407624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6261993076995357307.post-82891523245617901962015-06-10T13:46:13.965-04:002015-06-10T13:46:13.965-04:00I'm very excited to see these begin to appear ...I'm very excited to see these begin to appear in the flesh! I like your decision to ditch a lot of convention for something better and better made.

Actually those white squares you see in a few spots are the ends of tenons. I 'paint' them white in the drawing as a certain convention I follow.<br /><br />That said, it would be quite nice to actually use white pegs where pegs are required (not too many places in this cabinet).... I guess Holly would be the obvious choice.<br /><br />~CAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14328401081765407624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6261993076995357307.post-92050774009455417342015-06-10T04:36:30.087-04:002015-06-10T04:36:30.087-04:00Hi Chris

Or something else like bone (or ivory)?<br /><br />Brgds<br />JonasJonas Jensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07787393233185454227noreply@blogger.com
