Oak Desk Project *UPDATE* Hutch is done!

Image
A current project I am working on involves a desk w/ hutch using oak and oak laminate plywood. I'm going with a Roman Ogee moulding theme for the hutch crown and stands, and possibly use a 1/4" x 1/2" ogee moulding to add depth to the cabinet doors. Pictures are not in sequence or in any particular order (I tend to forget to take pictures when my mind is so tuned in on the project itself!). Sorry no pictures of the cutting process, but I can tell you it involved two trips to the hardware store to purchase 3 new (60 and 80 teeth) saw blades. Finish plywood almost certainly needs 80 teeth or it will chew the wood up. After cutting the boards,"Stain first!", is my personal motto. As glue tends to ruin finish areas, if you don't. Sherry found "Mr. Plywood" online. I had never heard of the place and promptly paid the store a visit. What a godsend! If you live in Portland, OR and need lumber or moulding, forget Home Depot or Lowes...
