Cherry Cabinet

Project by tinnman65 posted 293 days ago 608 views 1 time favorited 16 comments Add to Favorites Watch

I just finished this little cherry cabinet and thought I would post it. It started out as straight line project in my head, sort of like a Krenov type cabinet but it evolved into what you see once I started to put it on paper. Don’t ask me how I got from there to hear but I did. The Blue Jay is from a photo from a book & the other bird is a Blue Faced Honey Eater taken from a George Raper drawing c1788. I have this fascination with birds so I’m sure this won’t be the last thing I do with birds on it. This was a learning experience in that I did some of the construction on the fly, I won’t try that again. A good plan set down in advance always works better, not to say that sometimes a change in direction during a process isn’t needed.

first rate all the way. I like your style on this cabinet, it is different and you made it work well. I can apperciate the time it must have taken on the inlay work. I finshed a little chest for my daughter with inlayed initals and was amazed at the time involved ( was my first time). Again great work.

I must admit it wasn’t inlay work but marquetry done on cherry veneer and then glued to a solid cherry substrate which I believe wasn’t quite as hard to do as if were all inlay.

You may be the tinman but you must have a wood heart (if not inlayed to boot).
All of yuor projects are very inspirational.
Thanks for sharing.
