Techshop built Cabinet (Walnut, Maple, Mahogany, Cherry)

I LOVE THE TECHSHOP!!! Being a woodworker, I have access to everything I need to build whatever I need to.

I was asked to build a low cabinet for a friend, and he drew out the plans...I was excited to get going on such a beautiful piece.

Step 1: Planing and joining and gluing.

FIRST, I chose the wood. Woodcraft is expensive, but has a pretty good selection.

I planed the wood to the right thickness and jointed the ends to glue them together for the doors.

Hello . Keep your glue in a cool dry place , and out of sunlight . That'll work .

Hello . Ebay carries a lot of wood , and if you are persistent and up late , you can get good deals. I have been buying wood from there for three years , and make walking sticks.
Own a lathe with 73 1/2" between centers , and I'm shaping sticks by hand . Slower and more enjoyable .

This is a great build! I'm definitely going to keep this style in mind for the future... Could you show which boards are which in the photos? I can only identify three types, can't tell which one is mahogany.
Awesome job!

If you are looking at the last picture, the one where the office phone is on top, the woods go, WALNUT, MAPLE, MAHOGANY, WALNUT, MAHOGANY, WALNUT, MAPLE, CHERRY, WALNUT, CHERRY, MAPLE, WALNUT. I get confused too, but I think that is what it is.

Ah, yes I see the difference now. Thanks!
