This one-of-a-kind, highly figured buffet cabinet is made from special boards of quilted maple, walnut, and zebrawood. The cabinet was custom made for the clients to serve as two separate pieces that can be moved and used individually or together as one large cabinet. There is a solid zebrawood centerpiece between the smaller and larger cabinets that can be removed. When the zebrawood is removed the cabinet is now two unique pieces of custom made furniture. There are drawers, doors, and adjustable shelves in each cabinet. There are zebrawood pulls on the doors that are individually hand shaped. Lined silverware drawers have secret locking mechanisms. Hand rubbed tung oil based finish. Dimensions: smaller cabinet 72” x 21” x 37” tall; larger cabinet 82” x 21” x 37” tall. Original design with hand carved signature by Earl Nesbitt. Earl has been designing and building custom made furniture professionally for more than 30 years.

This is what the Texas clients said about this buffet cabinet: “My wife and I have had the pleasure of having Earl design and construct a custom made dining table set, an art deco media cabinet, a buffet cabinet, and a china cabinet for our family. To say that we are pleased with his work would be a gross understatement. There are not enough superlatives to employ to describe our satisfaction, or his work. As a friend of mine said upon seeing one of Earl’s creations, “This is not furniture… it's art!” We are particularly pleased with his exacting attention to detail. His design elements extend to portions of his work that are never seen, such as deep inside cabinets. He is masterful in his construction and particularly adept at mixing different woods; allowing for the different rates of natural movement in the wood due to changes in climate. Finally, Earl is really, really good to work with. He tirelessly strove to ensure that we were satisfied with his designs and final products. When presented with obstacles or unique challenges, he refused to abandon the design or “settle” for the easy way out, but worked to solve the problem and realize the vision. We have recommended Earl to our friends and will continue to do so in the future! Simply, Earl’s artwork is FABULOUS! (To use only one superlative.)”
