Very nice! Simple clean lines.

Arnie,

This is a nice cabinet. Thanks for showcasing the willow. It is a pretty wood with a nice grain to it. Nice post and I am sure that your wife love the case.

-- With God's help all things are possible- even woodworking. Woodworking is not just a hobby, it is an (expletive deleted) expensive hobby.

-- No piece is cut too short. It was meant for a smaller project.

Nice design, nice execution. I like it.

Nice job Arnie, we must visit the same websites as I am currently using the same pattern for a medicine cabinet in rosewood. I can only hope that my efforts look half as nice as your finished product.

Also, congrats on rescuing and preserving some beautiful wood, I find it hard to understand when people catagorize a certain wood as ‘garbage’ or ‘trash’. Each wood has it’s unique properties and the challenge is to match those properties up with the needs of any given project, something you have done with execellent results.

This is a beautiful little cabinet…

You made some really nice choices with the wood grain…

That is a great cabinet and I love the wood. Finishing has always been a problem for me. Could you tell me what is the “BLO” component of the finish you used?

Well done, sir. Good choice of wood, nice proportions, finish seems excellent.

Fantastic ! Your choice of wood with the clean design and finish are outstanding!

I am curious to your rails and styles—-what method you chose for joinery?

Thanks for posting !

Excellent! I’m in the midst of creating cabinets just like this only in a painted version. I truly can appreciate the work that went into it!! Love the clean lines and perfect fit! I love the wood too! Thought it was cherry.

I’ll echo what SteveV just said. Also add that I just noticed (on the forth look) the cock bead detail on the face frame, a very nice touch. It adds perfectly to the splendor of the wood. Thanks for posting. I’ll be very tempted to make a cabinet of similar design with that bead detail.

Bill asked “I am curious to your rails and styles—-what method you chose for joinery?”

Mortise and tenon joinery. I enjoy roughing out M&T’s and final fitting them with hand tools.

Thanks to all for the nice comments.

The Willow is beautiful, & so is your cabinet.

Willow is also great for carving.
