Status
After sitting on this project (and the wood) for 5 years while I worked
way too hard for an Internet startup, I abandoned this project. Nowadays
(circa 2010), as I did with the Home Theater
Project, your TV should hang on the wall and the A/V equipment should
be out of sight. The wood purchased for it was repurposed for the Long Benches Project.
Specifications
Proposed to be 8 feet long, 2 feet wide, 20" height. Made of mahagony with
an oil finish.
Story
This was planned to be the nicest piece of furniture I have made. It's
inspired by designs (houses and furniture) of Frank Lloyd Wright, having
cantilevered tops, decorative carvings and slatted sides/back. It would
have been made of (Genuine) Mahogany and will be 8 feet long, 2 feet wide
and about 30 inches high.
Below are my preliminary scketches.
