The labor is what really gets expensive for a custom project like this. Total hours so far including design are around 350-400. I can give you some better numbers once it’s complete.

That's quite an investment. Even if you figure it at an hourly rate of $50, which is low for custom cabinet work like this, you are looking at almost $20,000 in total cost. This is a beautiful piece, I hope you are planning to pass it down to your kids/grandkids/great grandkids. Definitely an heirloom.

Very close. After 6 months of waiting it should finally be finished this week. It has to go in a year-end show that the school puts on so I won't have it in my possession for a few more weeks.
