You can tell what was done on the bot!
Testing the new photo upload also-More pixels allowed than previously but this version is fuzzy on close-up.
May repost if can quickly come up with resolution/size that keeps clarity.

BTW-Looks to me like it's time for a 2015 folder.

Is it some kind of Asian motif/design?

Thanks guys-Always nice to get compliments on the occasional work I do that is my design.
I thought someone would love the pulls too. LOL. The real ones just came in.
It is an Asian influence and the cabinet finish (which doesn't show too well in the pic) is red paint with black highlighting and brown stain and clear on the bases.
The wood is red oak veneer on the carcass and solid for the doors and bases. Grain is very distinct-sealed with water base so it really popped.
I did a similar nightstand some years ago before the bot so the cutouts were done first with a forstner bit and then squared with a saber saw.
The Bot made it a whole lot easier but a bit scary due to bookmatched panels.
It's actually an entertainment center with the low cabinet under the TV with enough space for client to put some pictures on it and still be under the TV.
Tall unit is pocket doors with equipment shelves. The TV is mounted with recessed articulating arm so the TV looks surface hung when pushed back.
I'll try to remember to post final install pics but there is a heck of a lot of wiring work to come.
Client is a very special lady I have been quite close to for thirty years now. She's been living very patiently with components on a tablecloth wrapped cardboard box for a long time.

I LIKE Your design Dave!!! :)
Yep, definite improvement over a cardboard box.
Is the back ventilated as well, or did you do something different?
Thanks for the finishing details... GREAT JOB!
Funny how for customers we do stuff yesterday, but we and our "special" people have to wait! (Mom is still waiting for a pedestal for her monogrammed Ebony piece I did for Christmas(2013!!!)) :(
What hinges did you use?
Again.....Nice Craftsmanship!

The hinges are Blum soft close for the small doors and Accuride 123 for the tall doors which pocket. The drawer slides are Blum Undermount soft close.
The back is ventilated at top as well as having openings for cables.
