Plan for Walnut Buffet Tops Wood Week's Reports

As with most custom wood projects, I was supplied with an inspiration picture which we then modified to fit the client's needs, says J. Alexander Fine Woodworking's Jared Patchin.

As the project plan shows, the main design elements included were a slab door and drawer fronts, the heavy solid frame surrounding the doors and drawers, and the design of the base.

Patchin, from Boise, produced the walnut buffet for a homeowner living in a high-rise condo in Chicago. "So we would need to engineer it so it could be dis-assembled and then re-assembled in the home," he says.

Here's how he did it, along with the rest of this week's most viewed wood industry reports.
