    Default jarrah tv cabinet

    I think it's been about a year since I made anything but we needed a cabinet for the bigscreen so this is it. Solid 19mm jarrah using a mix of new and old. It took an age to select the 40mm top pieces from Bunnies garbage rack. The inside of the doors have not been finished yet but will be finished as per the outside which is one thin coat of sanding sealer immediately wiped off, 2 coats of shellac rubbed in with green scouring pads, and 2 coats of U-Beaut wax, rubbed in the same way. I used an old 2 brush Hoover floor polisher with lambswool pads to buff it up. Handles are simply routed coves on rear edge of doors.
    Next project is to replace the two bookshelves with shallower dvd cabinets. My wife is a dvd addict as you can see.

    Looks great. I am just about to start on an entertainment unit for my son, also from jarrah. That finish appears to have come up a treat.

If he gets it without working for it; he's a parasite; and if he accumulates it after a life time of hard work, people call him a fool who never got anything out of life."
