First wall unit
OK- this is my first go at building a wall unit, and first attempt at raised panel doors. Carcasses and shelving out of MDF, BB ply (Kauri I think) for the benchtop, and Meranti for the face frames and door rails/stiles.
Paint job could have been better (although took me ages as it was!). I also found the Meranti was a lot more opened grained than I hoped (and remember from last time I used it). I found it hard to stop chip outs and to seal the grain completely.
And before anyone asks- I stopped short of the ceiling on purpose... I chickened out of trying to fit the cornice!

That looks really good. Might have a crack at that oneday myself.
The world is a comedy to those that think, a tragedy to those that feel.
