Staining 96 BS Cabinet

Tonight I started staining the parts of the 96 BS cabinet. Tomorrow I'll flip all the pieces and stain the opposite sides.

USC TROJAN Cabinet

The engraving work on this project is finished. I have moved onto sanding and shaping the cabinet parts. These pictures are of the current state. The doors still need to be ripped down to their proper width once all the sanding work has been completed.




There are two engravings that will appear on the inside of the cabinet.

Upcoming orders

If you have been in touch with me about a dart cabinet rest assured I will get to it... But it may take another week or so for me to find the time to work on artwork or prep additional lumber.

I wish I could say I make my living with this business but it's not the case. My normal occupation is that of a Finish Carpenter. I'm back in a cycle of actually having some work so the dart business is back on a part-time basis.

Please keep checking back here for updates on the current batch of cabinets. If you don't see anything on your particular piece wait a couple of days before e-mailing me. I try to devote time every night to a cabinet and keep alternating that pattern so one piece doesn't sit unattended for too long


Thanks for your patience!

All American Day

This cabinet is just about ready for final sanding. Over the weekend I'll have this one finished up and move it down for staining early next week.

This cabinet will be heading out to a military squadron in the Pacific. All the engraving work and final sanding has been completed so it will move down for staining sometime this weekend.

Happy 4th of July and thanks for protecting out Freedom!

Powercat update

Finally, the humidity levels have stabilized in my basement and I'm into the top coating process now. I'm hoping for shipment on Tuesday.

I ran one door through the cnc the other day and when I started the second door I realized I had made a mistake with one of the two inner engravings. I placed the same logo on both doors. Unfortunately, I didn't catch this in time and ruined a Maple door! DOH! So I've got another door gluing up in the shop now and I plan on running the right door again tomorrow. I'll post pictures once both doors are completed.
