Mission/Arts and Crafts Buffet and Hutch Build - FINISHED!

[Randy in Calgary]

And as a side note, thanks Randy. The last two drawers had the faces pre-stained.
Made these two go a lot faster.
I seem to get over zealous when I get a pin board done and just want to see what the joint is going to look like. Then I have to take extra time in the staining process.

.

You are most welcome. Happy to help in a small way to improve a project that is well over my head!

Happy day in my shop....

After 3 1/2 months I finally get a peek at how this buffet and hutch look like together.
There were a couple of bumps in the road but all in all I'm really happy how it has turned out...
The boss gave it a final thumbs up. And when it comes down to it, thats all that matters.
Happy wives, happy lives.

All thats left to do is the sprayed topcoat and install the glass.
But for all intense and purposed this one is done...
Thanks to all those who tagged along.
Now to figure out what project is next on the agenda...
I'm wanting to do a Gus Stickley Eastwood Chair but I think the boss has different ideas..
Something about a larger buffet and hutch to go with her dining room table.

Till next time.

Good job Gary !

Perhaps I missed it along the way but was there a reason for not going a tad wider ?

Cheers, Don

Great job.

I love your progress threads and I also love that you don't skimp on wood selection. Lovely wood turned into a beautiful piece.

You should be very proud of your hard work. I hope your "boss" has rewarded you appropriately!

You should have scored enough "honey do" points to last you for years

I love the A&C style and your result is great. Hope the wife or kids don't see this.

Cheers

Thanks again everyone for all the thumbs up on the project.

This one just about caught me up in the brownie point department. A little history on this piece. A couple of years ago I tried to hide a PM3520B in my shop with not a lot of success. Seems I forgot to tell the boss I had bought it.... I promised I would make this buffet and hutch for the kitchen a long time ago to make amends..
I guess good things just take a long time...
