First project from rough lumber

[LB75]

This is a little project I've been working on for our newly remodeled den. This is the first project I've completed starting from rough lumber, in this case some cherry I picked up during the group buy we had back in 2012. The cabinet and door frames are made from the cherry and the door panels are sapele. I finished it with a coat of black walnut danish oil. I applied the finish to the doors last night and based on how long it took the oil to cure on the cabinet, it will probably be 4 or 5 days before I can rehang the doors. I had a lot of fun working on this and really enjoyed milling the cherry and sapele down to what I needed.

Well done. Now you need a good set of real darts from across the pond...

I love it George, I built dart cabinets as my final project in cabinet making class at High School Vo-tech. We had to design, build, market and sell 3 of the project we chose. Good thing my home town had a lot of bars.

Looks great! You did a good job there for your first project. Looking forward to your future projects.

Oil and cherry do go well together, don't they

The most fool proof finish there is.....

You did a good job building your dart board George, something you'll enjoy for a long time!

Looks good to me. I have a bunch of dry but unplanned oak and a bit of cherry on the wall waiting on me to finish house repairs/fixups. I hope to be putting it through the planner soon. I need a couple bedroom sets. Also a dining table. Fortunately, I've built both before but the kids have those and I need to build some more. Good problem to have.
