These cabinets took a long time due to all the inlays involved. LOML came to the shop to try her hand at inlays. After about 4 hours, she said she had enough. The wave lines and circles are inlaid flush to the surface. There are 7 different sized wave lengths for a total of 53 to inlay. They were made by cutting plexiglas shapes on the band saw, and sanding smooth to use them as a pattern. The circles were cut nickle size, and there are 27 of those. The circles line up from the upper cabinets to the base cabinets. The side visible in the pictures is the dining room side, and those doors opened. On the reverse side, there are the same doors, but they were fixed. The upper cabinets have hinged glass doors on the side showing in the pictures, and mirror on the wall sides and on the section covering the soffit face. Inlays follow around the cabinets. The exposed ends on the base cabinets are tapered from the ledge to the bottom. Woods are ebony and satinwood, with oil based polyurethane finish hand rubbed out. . . .

Pure elegance! Beautiful! I'm sure she has the procedure & router technique very well mastered! Yes? So, the next time you have an Inlay job, you know who can do it! Maybe a jewelry box for her... or something... for her... ;D Thank you for posting... Very nice work! COOL!

That's high end work for ya, a little bit of old and new mixed nicely. Suspended glass sided cabinets with glass selves, takes good joinery to pull that off. Excellent work.
