In Design Mode

While I haven't been posting much lately, I have been woodworking.  Just not in the shop.

With all of the projects for others complete, it's time to work on some of my own.  For the past two months I have been learning Google Sketch-up and designing my wainscoting and cabinets.

The cabinets will be maple (the pics below are when I was thinking oak).  I think the red oak would be visually too busy.  I love the grain in red oak and the large sheets of it are beautiful but I thought there just might be too much of it.  The maple will be lighter and just as nice.

Here are some details of the cabinets.
  • 7 - 37" lower cabinets
    • 5 - 2 drawer/2 door cabinets
    • 2 - 2 door cabinets with 6 drawers behind them
  • 6 cabinets side-by-side (about 18' long total) and 1 stand-alone
  • 18' of upper cabinets for my library (not actually drawn yet)
