This is essentially an elaborate entertainment center, adapting Greene & Greene's style to fit with what these folks wanted. The 2 units beside the fireplace house stereo components, cd's, dvd player, etc..They wanted the look of drawers, but needed to be able to access the components, hence the drop-down drawer faces. The single door in these 2 units houses the reel-to-reel.

Across the room are 2 more units. The base unit houses speakers and a sub-woofer behind pocket doors. This is all built from FSC cherry, with faceted walnut plugs. The upper unit has 3 glass doors on each face, with the tree being overlaid onto the glass across the 3 doors. It is attached to the frames with mortise & tenon joints, and the many sections of the tree and canopy outline are connected to each other with mortise and tenon joints.

Great job! Top notch craftsmanship! Only thing that I don't like is the fireplace, not sure why your client wanted to cover up all of that beautiful stone!

 

[MapleMoose]

Outstanding work! I really like the proud bridle joint ends on the counter-top apron.

[Jeff Shafer]

That is an awesome installation. The glass door with tree behind really sets it off. I imagine your client is super excited!

Thanks guys. It's always kind of funny when an old thread resurfaces years later. Answer to the question: Marantz. Jaydawg74, that is what subjectivity is all about. They liked the stone, but felt it was a bit too much, so they wanted a way to be able to see it without it being dominating. That's the design I came up with. They were very happy with it. And Jeff Shafer, the tree is actually overlaid onto the 3 glass doors. 36 individual pieces of wood, every one of them joined with mortise and tenons.
