Project Information
My first hanging wall cabinet - that isn't shop furniture. I emulated a couple different plans I found from FWW. Here's some specs:
23.5"h, 11"w, 7"d
- knotty cherry, walnut pulls, beetle kill pine for back and drawer bottoms
- federal blue milk paint with dewaxed shellac on top
- Watco Danish Oil - 3 coats
- dewaxed shellac for all interior parts
- hidden cleat in back for hanging
Plenty of firsts for me on this project, which I always like:
- first time using milk paint - I love it and plan to add color to more of my projects in the future
- first time making solid wood drawer bottoms - these drawers are small and I made the bottom thicker than it needed to be - next time I will scale it down
- first time making a bridle joint for the doors
- first time using only an oil finish - so easy to apply - we'll see how she holds up, should be alright as this will only see light touches
- first time using a gouge to carve out the finger recess for the drawer pull - now I need to learn how to sharpen them!!
Thanks for looking!
