Kitchen art?

gbwood | Posted in Photo Gallery on October 5, 2003 07:20am

been having an absolute blast with this one- designing it with the owner who has an architecture background & an almost as wacked out sense of design as me…Lacquered hickory, Euro style with walnut inlays, mitered doors & drawer fronts (where they meet finish ends), base cabinets have drawers throughout (except under sink…) Too frickin sweet!

Corian is going in tuesday, then the really cool stuff can go up…

I’ll be baaack                                                                                      gb

    the inlays on the island wrap around the sides & match up with the reveals from the mitered drawer fronts

    1. gbwood | Oct 05, 2003 07:48am | #2

      wanted to carry the lines from the drawer fronts on thru in front of the sink, so...

        aleks

          thank you

      2. TLJ | Oct 05, 2003 07:50pm | #5

        We all like to get good responses to our work when we show it here. Exceptional work. I can appreciate the craftsmanship. FWIW, I can't say that I particularly care for the visual effect, though.

    gb:      Very nice work.

  3. CaroleG4 | Oct 05, 2003 08:50pm | #6

    very, very nice, as usual......

    1. darrel | Oct 05, 2003 08:58pm | #7

      Nice! Great look.

    2. gbwood | Oct 06, 2003 11:17am | #9

      thanks, Teach!!

      1. luvmuskoka | Oct 06, 2003 03:51pm | #10

        Very cool. Very nice work.

        One thing......Corian ruins the cabinets..... imo.

        Stone would have been a better choice.....imo.Ditch

        1. gbwood | Oct 06, 2003 10:33pm | #11

          thanks- in regards to the counters, it was between corian & stone until the husband(who is a geologist) stated "I have to work with rocks all day, I dont want to have to look at them when I get home!" That settled that...

      2. CaroleG4 | Oct 07, 2003 12:15am | #12

        You're welcome......Sort of reminds me of a little wooden box!!!

        I loved the cabinetwork.......

        1. gbwood | Oct 07, 2003 04:39am | #14

          still waiting to see ya post a pic of that little wooden box...

          wait til ya see the column that goes up after countertops...

          thanks again...gb

          1. CaroleG4 | Oct 07, 2003 01:22pm | #18

            When we get a digital camera........I can't wait to see the rest of the kitchen......

            So, who you voting for today????

          2. migraine | Oct 07, 2003 06:39pm | #19

            Almost forgot it was vote day.  No longer a Ca. resident as of 7 weeks ago

            Bet'ya a dull, chipped ,rusted skill saw blade that Arnold takes it

          3. CaroleG4 | Oct 08, 2003 12:12am | #20

            I'll raise you a dull pencil that you're probably right......

  4. migraine | Oct 07, 2003 04:19am | #13

    Solid lumber doors or veneer/ply?

    1. gbwood | Oct 07, 2003 04:43am | #15

      migraine-

      veneer that I had to spec out "planked"- without any bookmatched grain

      1. migraine | Oct 07, 2003 04:58am | #16

        Good, I was starting to imagine what it would look like if the whole thing was layed up out of solid lumber.  Ever try vacuum pressing veneers yourself?

        1. gbwood | Oct 07, 2003 07:40am | #17

          no, I haven't yet ventured into vacuumland- seems like it would open up lots of possibities, tho

  5. gbwood | Oct 10, 2003 09:03am | #21

    thanks Steve- it was a joy to do. Check back in a couple days, the column & chase I put together to get gas & power to the island is really something, if I do say so myself...

    greg

    1. gbwood | Oct 12, 2003 04:51pm | #22

      OK folks, counters are in, column & chase are up- what do ya think of this...

      1. gbwood | Oct 12, 2003 05:03pm | #23

        sorry 'bout that first pic bein sideways-once again...

        1. CaroleG4 | Oct 12, 2003 08:47pm | #24

          Nice, nice, nice......

      2. DougU | Oct 12, 2003 11:19pm | #25

        gb

        I'm not a fan of contemporary but the cabs do look good, nice work

        Doug

        1. Snort | Oct 13, 2003 12:14am | #26

          I am a big fan of some modern/contemporary styles. Your job is is what I call "Simple yet Elegant." Very tasty.

          Now, I've been know to have a skewed take on things, but is that chase twisted as well as angular? And what's it "chasing?" the pneumatic tube to the HO's bank?

          Nice work, BB EliphIno!

          1. gbwood | Oct 25, 2003 10:17am | #28

            thanks, bucksnort...

            yeah, the column is a tapered, twisted, triangular, dropped a few times & had to fix kinda fun thing- inspired from the oblisk from the Zepplin "presense" album cover

          2. Snort | Oct 25, 2003 04:38pm | #29

            Neat...way outside the box;-) EliphIno!

          3. gbwood | Oct 25, 2003 10:34pm | #30

            yeah, I been outside my box for so long now I don't even remember where I left it...

        2. gbwood | Oct 25, 2003 10:10am | #27

          thanks, Doug
