Project Information

This was my very first Furniture Project out of my shop. I made this for my wife for Christmas 2002 and really wowed her. (I wowed myself as well.) I got the plans from a magazine, but used Oak and stained it a Rosewood color, then solid Cherry panels that I bookmatched. The bottom shelf inside is lined with cedar and did not stain or seal the interior to prevent transfer of the stain/sealer to the linens inside. I've built 4 of these so far, but I hope to do more very soon.

Thanks for looking.

Love the colors. Do you have any photos of the inside?

There is no sealer applied to the inside so it does not transfer to the linens. The cedar is simple 1/4" cedar slats found in home centers for cedar closet lining.

Thank you.
