Cabinet in White Oak

Furnished content.
(from Lumberjocks.com)


Cabinet in White OakA floor standing cabinet in white oak. The customer I built this for wanted beadbaord panels in the doors and all I could find was red oak, so i used an “esspresso” stain under the red mohagany stain I used on the rest of the cabinet. This took out the pink shade of the red oak. It turned out darker, but I dont mind that. Looking back, I wish I had used something with less obvious grain in the beadboard, its too “busy”. I used mortise and tenon joinery, with dowels more for looks and detail than extra support. One problem I was unable to resolve is with the quarter sawn white oak ply on the sides and back. The strips of veneer stained different tones as you can see in the last photo. I tried using a toner mixed with amber shellac, but my inexperience shows. So my question is, is the typical of stained plywood, or just a poor quality plywood? If you've had a similar experience or answer, please let me know! It was a.real disappointment for an otherwise satisfying project.
