Cabinet in Cherry, drawer made from
Black Walnut and Poplar.
I had re-sawn some cherry wood a couple of years ago and was left with an interesting although rather inconvenient sized piece. Two years of moving it around my shop, it has finally found a home. The door construction is mortise and tenon with cherry dowels in the corners. The body of the cabinet is through dovetails with dadoes for the interior divider and shelf, both of which have a hand scratched beading on the face. The drawer is half blind dovetails, walnut and poplar with solid wood bottom. The external shaping was created with spoke shaves and scrapers. The mortised knife hinges are manufactured by Brusso.

I like it. Nice result. I am a sucker for the contrasting dovetails. I see the scribe lines, does that mean those are hand cut dovetails? This reminds me of a piece I made last Christmas. It was a Jewelry cabinet (think medicine cabinet for jewelry). The necklaces and bracelets were to hang in the cabinet. The earrings and rings were on the door (inside) (mirror on the outside) and small drawers like yours on the bottom for odds and ends. I love this site. It is projects like this that inspire me. Thanks for sharing this with us.

Well, you are consistent – I am impressed with this piece too. I wish I had the energy, know how and time to do everything by hand.
