    She collects figurines - Most of this is made of recycled red oak wood and glass from one of the resale shops. The top is an old oak stair tread. The inside lights are from an old building EXIT sign. The brass corners and hinge are new and the brass turn knob is from the same resale shop. She is big on recycle so I tried to do it all from left-overs. Total about $40.00

    Even though the pic is nice, I bet the picture does not do it justice.
    How many hours do you have in it?

    (edit) I see you added another pic, while I was getting ready to post. Makes a WORLD of difference. Great looking cabinet.

    Nope, "drinkin and thinkin" hours don't count. [;)][:D]

    BlueTic,

    That's a really nice display cabnit. That red oak?

    I've got a little wood working project going myself. I started it in early winter at my buddies shop. We are building what we call liquor lockers. I've learned a lot and have developed a real appreciateion for those who have the skill/ability to build things like this. It really is art. I'd say I'm a little less than half done at this point. At the pace I'm woking now (on rainy day weekends) it'll probably take me till next winter to have it done.

    Where I'm at now (yes that's walnut)

    Neat eh?!

    Close to what it'll look like once completed (I hope)!

    GB - I really like that walnut!!! hard to find??
    Yes Red Oak, is some what hard - I have to pre-drill holes for the hardware screws and run a tap in, so I don't bugger up the screw head. Here's some other projects I did for Mrs.Blue (Pine hutch and oak side tables)
