This is a china cabinet I designed myself, for my daughters
wedding gift. It's made from ash with a Watco finish. The doors on Pam's
cabinet are 1/4" ash ply in a solid ash frame. It looks ok but raised panels
would have looked nicer. The cabinet was built in 2 pieces, to make
it lighter for transporting, and because my shop has a 74" ceiling. (that's
2 inches clearance for me) The final assembly test and pin connections
were done in the garage.

These are a couple of "in progress" shots. The carcass
is 1/2" ply painted and the face frame, sides, shelves, floor and
doors are solid ash from a local mill. I haven't got my raised panel door
bits yet so I used lap joints on the doors with a 1/4" sheet of ash
ply for the panels. |

The second "in progress" picture shows the upper portion
face frame. I used 3/4" ash ply for the backs of the upper half andsolid
ash for the rest. I tried to get the concave cut in the shelves to reflect
the arch on the doors. The finish isWatco oil again, very forgiving stuff.
I apologize for the lousey pictures! |
