In the Process Part V: Not done, but it's got wine storage.

It's good that this project is taking some time--that means that I have some more pressing work to attend to.

My favorite feature on the hutch are the columns. They have a slight taper (one inch over almost 7 feet), and they open up to reveal a broom closet on the left, and wine storage on the right.

The most technically difficult parts are finished. I have yet to complete the doors, some mouldings, and the finish.

This hutch is pretty big. It's nearly 8 feet tall, and five feet wide. That means that it needed to be constructed in such a way that it could be easily disassembled for transport. When fully assembled, it is difficult to guess where it comes apart.

When I finally complete this project, it is likely to end up in the showroom at Lumen Essence Lighting on the North Park Blocks. If you have any interest in old house lighting, you owe it to yourself to visit Larry at this amazing shop.
