This is one portion of a much larger project for a luxury Home located in Bear foot Creek on the slopes of one of the Mount Washington Valley's premiere ski resorts Attitash Ski Area. Doing a piece like this, sometimes takes some pressure and a little patience. Kind Of like waiting for glue to dry. This unit is a cubbie unit for ski paraphernalia, hats, helmits, goggles etc. it is on it's back with the top to the right.
A wider shot of the rest of the job in progress. There are approximately 47' of window seating and bench type cabinetry some incorporating drawers and blanket storage.
I primarily use solid maple dovetailed drawers with under mount soft closing drawer slides in all my cabinetry.
The wood of choice for this project is clear vertical grain Fir with a clear finish. this is a finished end corner that returns to a 8" x 8" post that frames the window opening.
Here your looking at a glued up Miter fold.
This is still raw wood with no finish applied.

I have used this method on a few projects with good results.
This is a removable custom grill for the HVAC that needs to be located in the base of this cabinetry, the hole to the right is for an electrical outlet also mounted in the base.

With some final fitting and some finish sanding the balance of these parts and pieces will be ready for the finishing process. I apply a sealer coat, sand that with fine sandpaper, vacuum off the sanding dust , and apply 2 consecutive coats of a clear conversion varnish (all spray applied).
Stay tuned to see how the finish brings out the richness and warmth in the wood.
