Some may recall my questions about doors to hide the TV in an entertainment center. A part of the "bookcase" structure is now finished and sits atop an existing oak veneer sideboard (18" deep, 92" wide). Bookcase made of
3/4" maple veneer plywood with solid maple banding. Finished (for now) with 1 coat of BLO, 3 coats of superblonde shellac, and 3 coats of wiped oilbased polyurethane. She who decides didn't want to wait for paste wax final finishing (alas). I am now making the 2 sliding doors (21x42" each) using 3/4x1 1/2" solid maple for the frame and woven maple and walnut veneer after an idea in FWW, with final design by us together. The edging glue-on veneer strips are "glued" onto thin strips functioning as a support frame (maple left over from the banding, thicknessed to fit into the grooves cut with the very nice "Freud 99-760 New Premier Adjustable Rail & Stile Router Bit System"). The doors have to be finished still ...A preliminary picture is at

Comments welcome.
