Project Information

This cabinet was a much needed addition to our laundry room to store cleaning supplies. My wife and I had an old IKEA table that was never being used so I took it and cut it apart for all of the Spruce parts.

The Door
I used full bridle joints (a first for me) for the doors and pegged them (for looks more so than strength). I resawed the walnut that I had and realized that it was rife with worm holes. Not wanting to toss it I decided to clean them out and fill it with slow set epoxy and gold glitter. I am happy with the result.

The case
Nothing special, just some dovetails. Case size 32 inches high, 13.5 wide.

The finish is Tried and True Danish oil.

Thanks for looking,

The Swede

Tell me why a Swede uses Danish oil?
Just kidding, nice looking reuse/recycling of existing material.

I see so many pieces of descent material sitting on the curb just waiting for someone to bring back to life.
Of course, then there are the paper covered particle board one too that are nearly worthless.
