I started this project last Thursday afternoon, I used up some of the left overs of the American Black Walnut from the HiFi Unit to make this TV Unit, infact only the top was sized up from unused timber the ends and rails were off cuts. To match the Hifi unit everything was sized to two inches thick except the rails in front of the shelves they were sized to 18mm same as the birch plywood and the door was also sized to 18mm thick and is in fact four pieces jointed together with biscuits.
Top is open for units that require remotes. Bottom enclosed with a bottom hinged door for storage of remotes, DVD’s Video tapes etc. Pictured after three coats of Danish oil (still wet)
The top was jointed and biscuits were used, the same for the end panels. A floating tennon was used to join the top to the end panels, and 18mm stopped rebates cut with a router ½” deep for the shelves.
Sanded down to 240 grit then 0000 wire wool then three coats of Danish oil for the finish, that’s the point I took the pics.
Here's a view of the back panel
Tomorrow it will get another rubbing down with wire wool and then waxed with Black Bison.
