Cherry Drinks Cabinet

Phillip This cabinet looks beautiful. Sorry it has floundered in the background for so long. Lets give it a new hit and see how it does.

Is the top a single board?

Can’t belive all the great stuff I missed back in the “early days”... Thanks for playing historian Karson… (and welcome wagon… you should be the PR person for the magazine venture, and the Blue Collar Cabinetry tour (treasure hunt… everyone go find that string!)

thanks to the pulse we’ll get some new eyes on some great “new” projects

Great design Philip. Nice to look at and functional.

Philip, so thankful this one surfaced again. I hadn’t seen it previously, and loving your work so much, I thought I had searched all of your projects. This is a lovely piece and would grace any decor. Your craftsmanship is at a very high standard, a level to which I hope that I can someday attain.

Thanks!

Hey Phil, any chance we could get you to post your videos and some of your more recent planes here. I’m guessing a number of the folks here would like to see them. Thanks.

Very nice. I like the simple hand slots that you used in the doors. Any reason that you made it with the bottom of the bottle facing the front instead of the neck or cork? The grain is just beautiful on the top, too.

Really nice! I love the top.

Thank you, Gents!
I loved making this piece – cherry is such a pleasure to work with.
Osc, no real reason. I had a choice of two ways, and I went with this one. Funnily enough, it is the question everyone who sees the piece asks! :)
I’ll post some projects tonight – stay tuned.
Cheers
Phil

CHERRY is the most!!!!!!BLKCHERRY

Thanks, Blackcherry! :)

One thing I meant to mention about this project was the finish – I used boiled linseed oil, the first time I had used this traditional finish. There is no surface film of finish visible – it just feels like wood. And it feels like burnished wood to the touch. I probably won’t use this finish in this way again but it was a nice experiment – and looked awesome on cherry.

And I notice I never answered karsons original question – apologies, K! The topis made from three edge-jointed pieces of cherry. It was one long but thin board chopped into three to keep the colour consistent.
Best regards
Phil

Hey, Phil try on a mock up your finish and add 1 or 2 coats paste waxs, at first it will look hazey but with repeated buffing the finish will bring out the true beauty of your cherry. I like danish oil and paste wax on piece that don’t get heavy use. My perfered wax is Mylands Wax alittle pricey but worth the end results. Blkcherry
