This was a very interesting project. The piece was designed around two main criteria. Firstly, it had to be constructed in such a way as to allow for easy shipping across the country. And also the clients supplied the Red Oak which had been logged many years earlier on their grandfather's farm. My challenge was to design and fashion a piece of furniture to their specifications using wood that was not necessarily the size that I might have chosen. The final size is 6' 10 " tall X 10" 6" wide. Some creative thinking was required since the height of the cabinet is almost 7 feet tall, but the longest boards available were only 5 feet long. In the end a modular construction resolved these things quite well.

The price of this unit was $3600.
