UPDATED WITH HARDWARE INSTALLED!!!
Now that the doors and drawers are finished, I couldn’t wait to post this. It is my biggest project to date. It was basically a cabinet building tutorial to get me ready for an eventual kitchen. My original plan was to do spalted maple door panels but the curly, gum pocket cherry I used for the face frame, and rails/stiles of the doors was so psychedelic that I opted for the more economical 1/4” cherry veneer plywood. Hardware is on special order right now but looks like wrought iron bowties if you can imagine that look. I got the granite top from a kid who used to be one of my student/athletes and now fabricates and installs granite and quartz, so that is special to me as well as quite a money saver. Inside the cabinet are pullout shelves and the drawers are machined HB dovetails in hard maple drawer boxes. The back is frame and panel as well so it would look pretty from all angles. The dimensions of this are 38” H x 51” W x 19” D. It is finished with one 15 minute soak of cherry watco danish oil and 3 coats thinned satin poly.

Looks like tutorial is over. That is a really good looking piece of furniture… classy but not flashy. Any close-ups of the wood grain? Can’t wait to see the kitchen!
