Mini Cabinet for my Mother

Table saws are indispensable. I like the carved top and the grain in that walnut is really beautiful. Having so many kinds of wood is a little jarring to my eye, but the basic design elements are interesting. The handles are a pleasing touch. Keep boxing and keep posting. Hope the bandage supply is holding up.

That’s a lovely piece. The curves really make this one.

Really nice piece. I am sure your mother will love it.

You kinda started this posting like a confession ;-)

By the way, bandages are a way of life in my shop.

Absolutely beautifull. The design and the execution. Really unique piece!

Thanks for sharing.

If this is “Professional clutz” as described in your Bio I want to be one. The cabinet and top are awesome. I love the subtle curves, carving and shaping. Are the pieces below the drawers the pulls for the drawers? Beautiful work, hope you signed and dated it for Mom…. Don

Very nice work. You have a great sense of design and imagination.

My mom still needs to pick out the drawer pulls. The cherry curves under each drawer are for decoration and to hold each drawer.

She did really like the piece. The walnut top has the same grain as a large leaf I cared for her last year. (She uses it to hold rocks and rings) What he really got a kick out of was the hidden compartment behind the top two drawers and the second hidden compartment underneath the bottom drawer. Its big enough for a will to be stashed in or other important papers. The main hidden compartment could fit a number of ring boxes or a necklace box or two.

Next project is a couple bird feeders and a tall stand/box for myself…though there is my Krenov to still finish off.

I for one would love to see some more pictures. Maybe with drawers and lid open. Really nice piece!!

You did a remarkable job on that. I have a lot more toys than you listed and I couldn’t begin to duplicate that. The design is very unique and I love the carving/sculpting on the top. If I had your talent, I think I would have sculpted the entire chest. You definately hit a home run here.

That’s beautiful! Especially with the tools at hand that’s very impressive. Thanks for sharing!

That is a very nice design, well done! The walnut carved top, with a great grain pattern, great shaping and the carved curls looks superb. I like how you have shaped the cherry curves, each curve slightly forward of the next It reminds me of a wave moving. There’s lots to see in this piece. Thanks!
