We needed more storage room in our summerhouse, and my wife decided I should build a wardrobe in one of the rooms. I choosed to make it a built-in wardrobe with birch fronts and doors. The carcass and shelfs are made of 18mm baltic birch, which is painted white. I dressed up the front of the shelfes with solid birch. Drawers are made of solid birch with ordinary drawer slides. One end of the wardrobe are done with the same panel as the existing walls.
To finish the birch I have used one coat of boiled linseed oil, two coats of shellac and on the top two coats of varnish.

This is a nice wardrobe unit. I like the overhead storage as well.
Thanks for the post.

Thanks for sharing your beautiful work.
We have a lot of Birch growing in this area.
My maternal Grandparents came here from Norway.
There’s a sawmill still there on the farm my Grandmother left.

This is beautiful. Those middle shelves with the pillows must make putting things away so easy! I love that. Just great thanks for sharing it.

Nice workmanship. I really like the look of the Birch. We have a summer home also, but because of tight finances we are forced to use it in the winter also :-)).
