Beautiful cabinet.

Is this of Dutch hollandish design looks like some of the Germanic-Dutch cabinets I have seen when I lived there for many years Alistair

Not sure about about the European influences in the design, identifying a given influence has never been my strong suit. All I pretty much know is what I like in style and design and when I saw this in Woodsmith I just had to make it. I’ve been contemplating making a matching piece for this that would actually sit on the floor more like a curio cabinet.

And thanks for the kind words everyone!

Very nice! Can you tell me what kind of joint/glue you used on your mitered corners?

Well what I did was to just glue the mitred corners together with titebond glue and let it sit for a full day. During that time I made a jig that would slide alongside my rip fence on the table saw. The jig has 2 supports on it that form a “V”. What you do is clamp the frame(vertically) into the “V” and run it over your blade cutting a thin kerf across the joint, then mill some material to fit the saw kerf and glue it in place. When its dry simply cut off the excess, I used a flush cut saw for that so I would gouge the door frame with the saw teeth.

Its simple and effective.

That’s a beautiful little corner cabinet. I been thinking of doing a small shaker corner cabinet for about a month. We have a perfect place for it in our den. You do very nice work.
