I wanted to get a very vibrant green, to recreate the feeling of flying over Maui. I picked the most brilliant green grass during the spring time and had the colors matched at the paint shop. In an effort to be a bit more environmentally friendly, I’m using a water-based paint.

Since most woodworker’s pieces are some shade of brown, it’s exciting to expand the usual range of color. This green is the first of my cabinets to receive the color treatment, but there will be more in the future as the colors provide a wider range of interests.
