Sorry to be so slow in posting this. The photo was hastily shot and doesn't do the wood justice. Termites and other silly things just took precedent. The cabinet was already positioned and loaded before I could do any shots, so pardon the distortion and poor lighting. This cabinet was suppose to be a "thrown together" thing. I just couldn't take that wood and do that, at least not for something to go in the house. The cabinet houses glues and finishes that I don't want to freeze, and it frees up the bottom of LOML's china hutch. It sits behind the door to the garage/shop. The doors to the shop and fridge have some of those semicircular bubble door stops to keep from damaging the cabinet top.
This was made of some of the local buck-fifty S2S walnut. And due to the hurried nature of the project I didn't do much selecting. I did do the top and bottom panels of each door out of the same boards and the corner wraps were the same pieces as were the door stiles. It was my first time to do raised panels. They are fun. It was also the first use of my Leigh FMT jig for all the mortises and tenons. Nice machine. The center shelf is fixed with an adjustable one above and below on pins. Minwax poly (for kitchen durability ugh ) was thinned a little then wiped on, rubbed til tacky then wiped off. Four coats were applied. Finish was where I did really cut corners to get this done fairly quickly. Only minimal sanding was done. The back was thin boards with tongues and grooves and attached with nails that simulate hand forged heads.
If you have any questions or want more detailed shots let me know. I lost a lot of resolution in resizing.
Thanks for looking and mostly for all the help. It was really my second piece that I would call furniture and many things I did were new to me. Most of my help was from right here!
