Here’s a cabinet I made for an older lady that had to move her buffet to change her A/C filter. She wanted more surface area and storage. As a result it has castors hidden behind the bracket feet so it can be easily moved.

It’s made of red oak and has poplar as a secondary wood inside for the drawer sides.

It was finished with Minwax Early American stain with some red oak stain added for more of a reddish cast followed with a glaze of burnt umber. It is sealed with semigloss poly and then hand rubbed with 000 steel wool for the gloss desired.

That is a beautiful piece. I really like the design and construction. You did a good job with this. I like the finishing sequence as well. The finish was the first thing I noticed about the piece.

Thanks for sharing.

Very Very Nice, the finish looks great, any secrets you have are truly welcomed. Do you have a shaper for doing the Rails and Stiles…..I don’t have one of them yet, but its on my want list. I did however get a Chisel Mortiser for X-mas. Sure beats hand drilling and chiseling…..your brother in woodworking John

Thanks folks!

I have a router table and a shaper, a very old Delta shaper. I used the router table to make the doors and panels.

There’s no secret in my work. Just hard work with mostly a big smile. I love it.
