Here is the curly pine pantry cabinet I just completed and delivered to my daughter in law over the fourth of July weekend. The pine was in the select pine bin at the local HD. I was concerned that the grain might not take the stain evenly enough to look good, but it worked out well. The grain isn't too apparent in the photos. My daughter in law came up with the design, which turned out quite well.
The pantry is 48" wide ( actually 47-3/4 so it would fit in the back of the Explorer for delivery), 80" tall and just 12" deep. I used clear pine for all the doors and exterior surfaces and #2 pine for the shelves and interior panels to keep down the cost. The raised panels were cut on my table saw, though the initial face cuts are done with a router. All the shelves are adjustable.
It is finished with Minwax Golden Pecan stain and Deft Semi-gloss clear wood finish.
