Cupboard in Birch

Project by Norwegian posted 835 days ago 623 views 1 time favorited 13 comments Add to Favorites Watch

Birch is the most common hardwood in my area, and I like the grain and texture in this wood. This is a cupboard I made for our summerhouse.

The chatoyance of the birch is lovely, makes the piece look warm and alive. Nice piece.

Beautiful cupboard! The birch is very pretty. This looks like a high quality piece.

I always have a hard time telling the difference between birch and maple; they seem very similar to me.

I like the look of birch for casual furnture and you have done it justice.
The jointing is splendid from what I can see.
What’s the finish?

Some projects immediately radiate, “I’m a quality piece made by a quality builder!” This is certainly one of them. I really like the clean lines, the raised panel doors and your choice of wood.

Great first project to show us. I’m looking forward to viewing more of your work.

Norwegian -

Very nice cupboard, & the birch looks great. The style is very similar to those that most every family farm in the Southern US had in our kitchens in the old days. Many of those were made of oak or pine. What is the finish on yours? Check out the similarities to the one I made of cherry wood.

Thank you all.
The finish is Liberon Finishing oil. Tre or four layers, with some Liberon wax on the top.

Sawdust: I like your cupboard very much – nice work.
