I was reading through Fine woodworking as I have a subscription and my wife saw the spice box. She is a great cook and I thought it would be a great Christmas present, so here it is. I was fortunate to have a bit of spalted maple so I used it for the panel doors, the main constuction it our of Butternut, from a tree that had fallen down in the park accross the street, the drawers are of walnut, dovetailed with a lacewood front.

Very nice looking. A beautiful project.
I do have a question though. On the internal view their is a light strip of wood seperating the top row of drawers and the lower.
Is there something different about them?

Beautiful spice cabinet. I love the different woods and the spalted maple for the panels looks gorgeous. Nice job. Bet you scored some brownie points with the wife.

That light strip looks to me like an issue with the flash reflecting directly back at the lens. I’m betting the flash was on-camera and quite close to the lens axis. You can see a similar color shift in all the wood at the same line as the drawer divider.
While I’m not a huge fan of spalted-anything, these are nice and I really like the lacewood drawer fronts. Sweat.

Perhaps the lighter stuff is sapwood?

Great job. I bet the wife appreciates it as well. It should last for many years of home cooking.
