In 1980 we gave our daughter an antique tiger maple drop leaf table for college graduation. In 2005 we found it in her basement storeage covered with boxes because the top was badly split and warped. Deciding it was not recoverable I made this wine cabinet for her wedding present. The legs and panels come from the table. The top is birds eye maple and all other wood is quarter sawn maple except the drawer fronts that are tiger maple too. Of course the legs were too short so I had to make a six inch riser with faux legs using veneer pieces from the old table and adding the drawer. I was thrilled to get people’s choice in our annual show.

This is a beautiful cabinet. Hopefully, now that she is more mature, she will appreciate the cabinet more than she did the table. Pieces like this represent a gift from the heart and are priceless.
Thanks for sharing.

Excellent project Phil. Nice to see that you’ve reused such nice wood instead of tossing it out. Too bad that table had split but if it hadn’t, she wouldn’t have such an heirloom today!
-- Bob Vila would be so proud of you!
