High gloss curved cabinet

Post by mailee »

I have just finished this unusual cabinet for a customer (Well it needs the handles fitting still)

Made as usual in MRMDF but it did present a bit of a challenge for me. :scratch:

Thanks guys. The unit is now finished. Just thought I would post up the shots of it with the handles fitted before it gets collected.

How did you make that then :scratch:

May we (I) ask how much that costs to buy?

it is made in MRMDF and the corners were 'beefed up' with layers before carving into shape.
I would rather not mention a price on an open forum Billygoat. I will say it is over a three figure sum.

It's beautiful. And having a piece which you know is unique has to be worth a lot.

Well it has been a long time coming but here are some shots of the cabinet in place in the customers home. I am pretty pleased with the outcome.
