This is some thing I wanted to make for a while but never had a customer for it. But finaly on day that customer came along and wanted it. The whole unit was made of popular. The doors were custom to match existing cabinets next to the unit. The jame was made in 3 Pieces, The 2 Raised panel jams and the Raised panel Arch. The asembley took a whole day to make it all work together, but it came together for a nice finished product. Looking forward to a stain grade one with no Kerfs............
