    This week the windows in the doors were routed out. Then the doors were scraped, sanded, stained and finished with a satin wipe-on polyurethane finish. Here's what a door looks after three coats of the polyurethane:

    In between staining and finishing the parts to the top case, I worked on fabricating the front doors using the same build techniques as all of the other doors in this project. The final width an height of the doors was gradually achieved by numerous trips to and from the jointer.

    How much more do you have to go to finish this one? You've been working on this for some time now.

    I "only" need to build the top and the bottom skirt/molding (along with a thousand little details in order to declare this D.O.N.E). :sigh:

    The last bit of fabrication is on the top of the case, made from 3/4-inch oak veneer plywood and solid oak edging. Edging was glued and scraped flush to the surface of the plywood.

    The top is removable. To help with re-aligning the heavy top to the carcass some guide blocks were glued to the underside of the top...

    ...and four threaded inserts were installed.
