Thanks ... getting the 'frame-within-a-frame' design element on those last two cabinets was very important to the client. Both sets of cabinets had some out of the ordinary spec's ... not fancy, just made it more fun than a carcase and a face frame.

wooden housings, then affix the mirror door to them, too? I thought these were boxes to hold the entire Kohler cabs.

P.S: Do you know what finish the end user will use (probably smear) on it?

Run back through the photos and you will see there are four cabinets, with two separate styles:

Two flush mount medicine cabinets for over the sinks in two bathrooms.

Two glass shelf cabinets going over the commodes in the two bathrooms.

Yep, it appears so ... after physically seeing a prototype chair I built with poplar using General Finishes "Java" Gel Stain, it will be most likely be literally smeared thusly.:)

The poplar prototype chair, with some pretty bodacious poplar popsicle colors in it (lime green, I'm told), turned out not all that bad, and you can see the grain:

out it is exactly the effect this particular client was looking for, but didn't know how to achieve ... (AAMOF, I gave him that _old_ leftover can of Java gel stain, and some project maple scraps to practice on, and he apparently likes what he's getting.

Besides, not my problem (for a change) ... ;)

So there are! Cool.

I _knew_ it.

I like the oak one much, much better.

Congrats, sir! Nice work, as usual, too.

I'm at the mercy of those who didn't color grass pink until they learned how to read ...

Besides, that chair is at least 100 years older than we are, and abused by some misguided female (refinished) ... sound familiar? LOL

Thank you, kind sir!

Not poplar? I guess I wasn't paying enough attention to detail.

Sure you do. You rinse its mouth out with any solvent which will take that butt fugly color off it, too. But ya got a point.

Too, too familiar. Almost as bad as whitewashed wood.
