This was my very first project. Made of solid red oak. All drawers and doors have a bullnose trim. Elk on left door was scrolled out of red oak and then carved to give it definition. Drawer pulls are acorns I carved from red oak, flat on the backside, drilled with inserts in order to install like normal pulls. Door handles (2 on glass doors not shown) were carved from red oak to look like small branches. Inner gun rack has swing open bars that can be padlocked to keep children from removing guns from cabinet. Also has hardware at bottom so as to run a locking cable through trigger guards. All drawers are felt lined. Bottom drawers have keyed locks installed. Cabinet is 2 piece, (bottom/top separates) which fasten together, for easy moving. Has a anti tipping cable on back that attaches to a wall anchor. Finish is golden pecan topcoated with 3 coats of semi-gloss urethane.

What a great Gun Cabinet! Love the look of this with drawers on the side of the double glass doors. It really gives it interest. The drawer pulls is another nice touch as well. Are you putting s lock on the upper door and glass doors as well? Well done!
