Design, Build and Install ........................... We looked into different species and cuts of wood, different finishes, various approaches to it’s over-all shape and what specific details could be incorporated to keep it looking like custom furniture. We went with rustic cherry (allows some sapwood and solid knots). I had an outfit in the Carolinas veneer 3/4” plywood in cherry with some sapwood showing. Here are some cabs being made in the shop and another installing. Note the steel bar incorporated into the cabinet and attached bracket …as the counter would extend 24” off the back of the peninsula.

Five years later… I hadn’t gotten back to that area for quite a while and then a few weeks ago I managed to run in and grab a few shots. Unstained cherry darkens well with time. There is more cabinetry to this kitchen and I wish I had cleaned it up a bit but you get the idea…
