Here is a small drawer cabinet I made for my nephews rock/crystal collection. 300mm high, 325mm wide and 195 deep.Case is Honduras Mahogany, Drawers are quartersawn Ash, handles are home made kwila dowel. Each drawer has a different layout of dividers and they are some maple leftovers from a previous project. My sister asked for this at the start of the year – and true to form I finished it with 2 days to spare after 8 months of my real job getting in the way. First time working with mahogany – wow, so nice to work with.
I wish I had more time for woodworking.The Last photo is my nephew filling it on his birthday.

Beautiful Patrick. Wish I still had a rock collection. The drawer fronts are Rock Maple right? Ah Beener now see what you’ve started?

I had a rock collection when I was a kid. I wish I had something like this to put them in. I had a white plastic bucket.
Great cabinet.

Thanks for the comments –
Berg – the drawer fronts are actually quartersawn figured ash.
