Little Cherry/Walnut Armoire

Another interesting design. I like the contrast between the cherry & walnut. The alternating tones of the cherry sapwood provide a lot of visual activity! Interesting choice to put the shutter hardware on the exterior.

Mark:

Nicely executed technically but a bit busy for my personal taste.

There’s just too much happening with the wood for me.

Also why the louvers?

Cheers

One of the great mysteries of the world Bob. I guess the client just likes louvers and shutters. :)

Beautiful craftsmanship!!! I’m with Bob #2 on the design, but I sure can appreciate the skill that went into building this piece. You are good at this stuff!!!

Thanks for sharing your work with us.

Strange that the client would want vertical shutters on one unit and horizontal on the other. I would guess it’s all about how they intend on displaying these cabinets. Maybe they’re just half a bubble off plumb too…take the money and run!

-- Bob Vila would be so proud of you!

As always, top notch. I only hope to one day have that kind of skill. Thanks for posting the pics.

Nice cabinet Marc. I like the louver doors. Here in Florida, this is standard. It allows air to flow around clothes so the humidity doesn’t mildew them. Goes back to pre air-conditioning days. I haven’t seen many vertical ones though. Interesting.

Great combination of wood, cherry and walnut. I don’t see that very often, it seems like you usually see one or the other.

-- Dust collectors suck.

The workmanship is obvious, and well done. I don’t think I would care to have the item in my house though, except as an example of craftsmanship.
