After widening the road, here, the construction crew forgot about 2 repleced telephone poles laying off to the side, hidden in tall grass/weeds. I called the city about them, I wanting to salvage them. At the time, I needed to quickly build an overhang onto the shop, to store a cache of inherited lumber. The city crew not only fetched the poles for me, but cut the poles to length. Here's my overhang storage - scroll left for another pic with the inherited cherry lumber:

Yeah, I know. I lucked out, as to this "inheritance". When in upholstery school, Jay's, an elderly classmate, BIL passed away. Tom was an engineer and had a nice 50s-60s vintage shop. He had no heirs and Jay's family didn't want any of his movable property. Jay asked if I would like to have Tom's shop, tools, storage shed contents, etal. Among the lumber was walnut and white oak, as well. When all was said and done, I presented Jay with a little dedication to Tom, "The Best Friend I Never Met".
This entertainment center is the first project I made with the cherry, presently in my home. The two end curved doors, for the base, are yet to be made. I tried making curved doors and I can't get them quite right, fitting each in their spaces AND matching one another, yet. I suppose it's time to try again. I may evaluate things, again, to see if tambour doors would be best, though I had always though solid doors. I've never made a tambour door.

I made 2 smallish (24" X 30") bathroom corner cabinets with some of the walnut.... I don't have pics of those.
On a side note, Jay was a really nice lady. Her dog died and she adopted a rescued dog from the local animal shelter. She asked if I would build her a dog house. I think she had in mind a typical dog house. This is the house I gave her, with her new puppy, scroll right for one more pic.
