  We re-installed the cabinet doors. I made the doors a little darker than the bases, which happens sometimes since I did the doors in my shop and the bases on site, so I toned the bases on a few side panels and on the crown around the top. They look great! I will try to take some better pictures, but here are some of cabinets. From white to>>>>>>>>>not! |

We will be re-installing the cabinet doors today. We did the accent glazing at the edge of the panels with dark walnut. Basically we just brushed it on and then wiped off the excess with a balled up t-shirt rag. Then we put 2 coat of Zar antique flat urethane, using bronze wool between each coat. They look awesome. I am really mad at myself now for not taking a before picture of the kitchen. I will at least take an after picture and post that. They also had a white fan that we made they blades the same as the new cabinet finish. |

The cabinet doors will take twice as long as the cabinet bases because I am doing both sides of the doors. The bases are now stained with Ealy American and accents different marks that you might see in wood done in cedar and early american. The client didn't want too many knots, so basically if they were buying real wood cabinets, they would be buying a clearer, more expensive grade of wood. Instead, they are having me do their cabinets for a fraction of the cost and for a fraction of the mess and invasion of their kitchen! |

Well, I forgot to take a picture of the kitchen cabinets before we took the doors off! Mad at myself for that, but we took the doors off and back to the shop. We set up a drying rack for them with a baker staging unit and 2 x 4's. Bob took all the hardware off for me and we washed the doors door with denatured alcohol. We now have a base coat of Stix bonding primer-tinted to the color of natural wood on everything, and the first layer of Old Master's Maple gel stain rubbed on with cheesecloth.

Getting ready to give some kitchen cabinets a makeover. Right now they are white. I will be making them look more like custom Early American wood cabinets.
