It’s been a while since I’ve posted a project, huh?
This is a Curio cabinet that I made my wife for Christmas. It’s what she said what she wanted and gave my until the end of January to finish it. I was told this a week before Christmas when I asked her what she wanted. I beat the deadline by two weeks.
It’s made completely from Peruvian walnut. I’m getting to the bottom of the barrel with this walnut. There’s not a straight flat piece of what’s left.
Anyway there’s not much to say about it. Spline joints on the case and M&T for the doors.

Well by looking at the cabinet I know that she must appreciate it very much. It’s a very nice cabinet and is a wonderful Christmas gift to your wife.

Nice one Gary
and if the wife likes it as well that is a big bonus. Makes the negotiations for new toys,. er Tools easier.
Were you away?

A Christmas present worth waiting for, and glad to hear the wait wasn’t as long as expected! I love the walnut! Doors match very nicely. I can’t quite make out whether it is a keyhole or just a darker part of the figure on the left door, though. How about the catches for the doors? Ball catch? Magnetic? Finish is very nice too!

You have been missed Gary. Nice work. That must have been a slam dunk for you :-))
