some bamboo cabinets

coming along on a pair of bamboo cabinets

the first cabinet was an extension to the existing island,
about 26" x 104" x 31" high, virtually doubling the
existing counter space ..

according to the previous owners, the bamboo ply was made by a company that is either no longer in business or not distributing their sheet goods on the east coast .. we did find a supplier

in virginia who represents a company called plyboo.  this is the quarter split, natural finish.

it is a different cut from the original and we had to tint the finish slightly

 to match the +/- 20 year old existing cabinets

here chris is installing the 6 maple pull outs

and here is the island cabinet in place waiting for the 'ubatuba' granite from

bennington marble and granite

b m & g did the original stonework in the existing kitchen, and had 

the exact match for the new stone ..

in place, with the finish on the cabinet

in the shop with the template for the stone

and there is another challenging part of this project that 

involves adding a cabinet to an area with another angled wall ..

we tried some square cabinet concepts, but ended up going with a trapezoidal

shaped cabinet similar to the scale model below ..

which also required a test fitting

and moving some wires and switches

home stretch on the angled cabinet today .. off to the
finishers tomorrow ..
