This is a sideboard in walnut with figured cherry panels in the doors and sides. I wanted this piece to look good from the back as well and was able to find some nice walnut for the rear panels. Door pulls were turned from cocobolo.

It is a great piece of furniture and its awesome to see that people still appreciate good craftsmanship and not just everyday particleboard laminate crap. really good job on blending the different species of wood. i was also wondering how you started your company? how did you get clientele?

They were what we call "one shot wonders", and their song has become a 60's classic (can songs become heirlooms?). This piece is built like a tank, so I think it will endure to become an heirloom also. Thanks for commenting.
