Cabinet in Figured Maple with quarter sawn Cherry drawer fronts, Poplar interiors and bottoms with a carved Walnut pull. The Maple in this cabinet was locally grown and milled here in Cape Breton. It features through dovetails and highly figured exterior. All shaping was done by hand with spoke shaves and scrapers. The Drawer faces are beautiful quarter sawn cherry, half blind dovetails with Poplar interiors. The pull is Walnut, carved by hand into the flower shape. A little Krenov inspiration indeed…

Tom,
This is absolutely gorgeous. This piece speaks volumes about your craftmanship.
-- With God's help all things are possible- even woodworking. Woodworking is not just a hobby, it is an (expletive deleted) expensive hobby.

Very nice. The fact that it was all done by hand is very impressive. Great design and craftsmanship.
