Trivits.
I had a person call and ask if I would make them 6 trivit frames that her and her friends could get together and use some of those past and present dead soldiers (corks). I thought it sounded like fun so I made 2 extras for Brenda and myself.
Small projects are a nice break, quick gratification and I get to use some of that never ending pile of scraps.

The lowly drawer.
Drawers are way under appreciated, they sit in our cabinets chocked full of our belongings, asked to just spend their lives opening and closing, only let out if we accidentally spill something inside or because we've jammed so much stuff in there that something escaped behind them, and yet they silently do their thing, well that's the best case scenario if their well built. Worst case: self destruction.
Here at CbN we build our drawers with your daily abuses in mind, we utilize time tested dovetail joinery (at least a 1000 years), under mount soft close slides that will withstand over 100 lbs of your packing ability and good luck slamming these closed, all wrapped up in a nice ascetically pleasing appearance, I mean who doesn't like opening their drawers and admiring there dovetails.

This set: Maple and will have a pre-catalyzed lacquer finish

Here's a nice little hood we were asked to build by a fellow cabinetmaker who approached us asking if we could build some of his more custom stuff because of his time constraints, always happy to help.

"This is the shape I want, this is the hood insert I want and this is the space you need to do it in."
What an endeavor, even at the over 6' of width and 54" of height I had to work with we barely squeaked the insert in, I really had my reservations on making this one work.

I think this is the first time in my career I have built back to back vanities in the same species for different clients, this one will have pretty close to the same foot detail as the one I posted yesterday.
Kinda like my kids and grandkids, I don't think I can pick a favorite, well not out loud anyway😂.

This little beauty ( Bathroom vanity) was built for some friends and just good people, I have to say I was very hesitant on the somewhat contrasting colors between the stiles, rails and the panels, but I think it was all for not.

Attention to grain really is important to the overall feel of cabinets, whether it be a run of pantry cabinets like these or just a simple vanity, I think they present a calming effect, a sense of order.
I also think I failed to a certain extent with this little job, if I only had an additional 100 extra board feet of material maybe I could have hit my mark, but all in all I'm pretty happy, but more importantly I hope my client will be.
