A Custom Bookcase

We've got a nice painted cabinet project going. Though I've known the clients for a while and have done a few repairs for them, I have to give my friend Ceil Petrucelli, of Ceil Petrucelli Interiors, some credit for getting them to come see about this project .... She's a great interior designer and got the ball rolling with a concept sketch for them. The cabinet is about 88 x 50 x 16 " deep and will hold the tv/stereo equipment, books and photos, and at the same time, dress up a long blank wall. C lick the pictues below to enlarge them ....

We've got an unusual 20" wide spalted maple board that will make a one piece top for the cabinet ,,,
