Brittany's Cabinets

Nice work! I like the finish on it. Could you go into a little more detail on how you finished it?

Nice job, Michael. This is a gorgeous piece. The hidden compartment is a good idea and leaving the knot in adds some character to the piece. The inlay adds visual interest to the top as well.

Well done.

The finish was a satin wipe on poly with a little linseed oil added. Don’t ask me the ratios. I winged it till I got it where I wanted it and made enough to do both units.

Very nice looking cabinets, Michael. I agree that the finish is great.

There is a lot to like about the design of this hidden / secret compartment.

The design is I suspect just one of many in your library, a design which has evolved over time! Well done.

beautiful, brilliant, and so simple…. Also bet the sliding top is also functional in the open position as well.
