Cherry and Granite Sideboard

Project by Konquest posted 252 days ago 426 views 1 time favorited 3 comments Add to Favorites Watch

Now I know it doesn’t have doors and drawers yet but once I got it upstairs I couldn’t wait to get it up here. This has been my winter project: a cherry sideboard/buffet with granite slab top. I got all this primo figured cherry and cherry veneer plywood at a local lumber dealer and went to work. The interior case is 3/4 birch plywood to add rigidity. The interior shelves pull out on waxed maple slides. The finish is 2 coats of cherry watco danish oil, 3 coats of thinned satin polyurethane, and a coat of liberon paste wax. Doors and drawers are going to be basic shaker style frame and panel with a center stile. The granite is from a remnant and is “Madura Gold” that I got from a hook up in the industry. My wife doesn’t know it but this was a confidence builder for me to eventually tackle the whole kitchen. I’ll be back with doors and drawers.
