Greene & Greene Style Wine Cabinet

Here is a colored pencil drawing my new design of a Wine Cabinet designed in the Greene & Greene style. The door marquetry is a women with orange hair and a green dress adding just a touch of the Art Nouveau period. This piece will be the 3rd chapter in a new book that I'm working on, subject of custom furniture. The wooden boxes book that I wrote took me 5 years and the boxes were much easier to make because of their size. The height of this cabinet will be 76", the woods will be African Mahogany with Gaboon Ebony. Thank you for looking!

This is gonna be awesome! I'm looking forward to the book as well.
The drawing looks good but I know the real thing will look even better

Awesome design Dennis!

My wife would veto that however (unless there was a Fabio on the opposite door).

I saw Fabio in the men's room at Laguardia, He might have been 5' 4" tall.

Nice design Dennis, I'll be looking for the project post when completed. I'm curious to see how you approach all the curves during construction. 
Oh boy, this will be another awesome build.  Getting the popcorn ready.

Wife obviously has odd tastes, she married me right? 🤠
Looks like another mind blowing build. This design has only a couple of pieces that aren't curved, I think you have masochistic tendencies. 🤪 😂
Petey, maybe he wasn't Fabio. My wife said Siri says he's 6'3"

yep 6'3" had to be someone that just looked like him.

So you think Tom Cruise and Sylvester Stallone are also > 5' 4" too? 🤠 
Thank you everyone for the complements, very much appreciated! 
Pottz: I'm shooting for 4 years from now for completion. A couple of the pieces Ive already made, it will have 7 projects similar to the wooden boxes book.  Plus it would go much faster if I could work on book full time, I'm still working full time at my custom furniture business , Zongkers.

Splint, I stood next to the guy at the sink.  He is 5' 4" at best.

All the Google page 1 stuff puts him at 6' 3", perhaps he has a crew of munchkins to throw off the fans while he is traveling?
yeah thats what i also found ?

Interesting - G&G with marquetry and a bit of Art Nouveau- can't wait to see how they get along.
