African Mahogany (Khaya) Mantle & Wall Paneling with Hand Painted Art Tile
This project features African Mahogany (Khaya) paneling and cabinetry adorning all four walls of a living room. An integrated fireplace mantle on the long wall surrounds a Mexican art tile fireplace with a wood stove insert and ceramic tile hearth.
This living room won first place in Fine Woodworking Magazine’s “Best Built-Ins” competition.
African Mahogany Media Center Built In
The media center features recessed lighting above a fixed top shelf sized to accommodate bookshelf height speakers and a center channel. Half of the upper area is dedicated to books behind glass doors, while the other half is open to accommodate a large flat-screen television. One of the base cabinets houses the A/V components behind a glass door. The four visible drawers provide for both CD and DVD storage by means of adjustable dividers, as do the additional eight drawers concealed behind the adjacent pair of cabinet doors.
This living room won first place in Fine Woodworking Magazine’s “Best Built-Ins” competition.
African Mahogany Computer Desk, Window Seat and Corner Bookcase
A southern facing wall features two built-in cabinets separated by a triple window and integrated bench seat. The depth of the cabinet on the left-hand side, which functions as a computer desk, was severely limited by the short wall of an adjacent archway. Fortunately, a flat screen LCD and computer in one, along with a slide out keyboard tray, permits a fully functional computer desk that is only 12” deep. The wireless printer resides on a sliding shelf within the much deeper base cabinet across the bench.
This living room won first place in Fine Woodworking Magazine’s “Best Built-Ins” competition.
