Looks like you picked up Steve Latta's bug. This piece is certainly not for the faint of heart and you have done it beautiful justice.

-- "Bordnerizing" perfectly good lumber for over a decade.

Douglas I did get the inspiration from that plan. I dont know if I did it justice or not, I do know it was a definate challenge. I had a great time with it and it did stretch my abilities to the breaking point as well as my patience. I dont expect to win the contest, I just wanted to be able to compete after all I have only been at this for a couple of years. There are a LOT of extremely talented people here.
Thanks to all for the comments. It is nice to be a part of a site that is encouraging of others regardless of their skills and knowledge, unlike some other wood sites out there.

Beautiful work!

-- Never board, always knotty, lots of growth rings

That’s a sweet spice box. What holds the back in place from falling out? I like the hidden compartment.

Thanks John…..The back sits in rabbets in the top and the bottom. The bottom drawer is removed to access the back which has a cleat that is lifted to remove the panel

Beautiful piece of work!! I love curly maple and black walnut. Your spice box is a complement to both species of wood. Thanks for the post.

-- Cheers and God Bless

Wow Ken
This is Gorgious great job.

-- Jim from Heirloom Woodshop Southern Oregon

That is a beautiful spice cabinet Ken. I love the hidden compartments.

I am all about hidden compartments. You could hide something valuable in there and no one would know.

In your case though it would backfire because that cabinet is so nice they would break in just to steal that.

Who won the contest?

-- Professional kitchen designer, amature woodworker.

Ken: It looks like you made a great looking spice cabinet also. Great looking.

I do love the Walnut version and the burl. I used burl in the baby cradle/glider that I made for my wife. (Grandma’s need cradles also)
