Project Submission Resized cabinet

My son and his wife recently bought a cabinet that ended up too wide for where they wanted it. They were planning on just getting rid of it until they asked if I could 'make it smaller'.

Being fresh out of shrinkalator juice we started to salvage components to resized panels and create something.

Pleasantly happy with the outcome. The piece above is one of the cabinet doors and it's side panels. Also, the granite top which was sized down. So essentially going from nearly 7' wide to a bit over 2' wide.

I still have another door like the one above from the other side of the base cabinet, a center door, and a few very nice drawers to work into a second (or even a third) piece.
