This came about because we were going to remodel the kitchen. Well, we had to because this junky house was beyond repair. I also wanted to try something in Sapele because that’s what Carleen had picked forher kitchen. The cupboard stands about 78 inches tall and is 28 wide.Thereis no work surface to speak of.Carleen wanted all those “Wren Houses” so I build them. I laughed about them but we use them for everything. The carved leather panels are removable for cleaning. The drawers are dovetailed. The finish is wipeing poly over shellac with no stain. This is the piece that Bobbi Hammer saw that led to the Hammer Secretary.

Thos, my heart started to palpitate when I saw the thumbnail pic, looked like small boxes, and although I just love small boxes, I wasn’t at all disappointed when the full size of the picture revealed this beautiful cupboard. You do lovely work.
I was fooled by one of your other projects where you had a leather insert. Upon first glance in these pictures, it looks like carved wood. Very special work!

Thanks Don, I have thought about carving wood but it is a totally different proposition. And those are small boxes with dovetails on all four corners.

That’s beautiful! Love the carved leather work and would never have never thought of incorporating leather panel inserts. Thanks for the inspiration.

Great job. I thought those panels were wood too, before you said leather.
