Wacky Door Collection


Maple panels -- worm holes or ambrosia
This is part of my wacky door collection, I have been wanting to do something a little more unusual, so since these are in our den, it gave me the opportunity to do that.  The main wood is walnut and the door panels are ambrosia maple, worm holed.  The doors have a 93 degree angle to make them look uneven.  The finish is just shellac and wax.  The wood is natural, which is the way I like my woods.  The wood is from Indiana, where I get most of my wood.   I started with a set of pulls on the doors that I made and went more traditional.  I angled the panels at 93 degrees also, you can see that in one panel, the other it is hard to see.  The legs have a taper and are solid walnut about  1 3/4 inch square.  All panels are matched, as you can see both with the maple and the burl walnut.
