This is one of those projects that you think about and build in your head a few hundred times untill you finally get fed up of thinking about,and just build it.Atleast thats how it was for me and this little jewel.
Made of figured PNW Big leaf maple and wild cherry this thing sports a ship lapped back,adjustible shelf,raised panels,and hand cut half blind dovetails.It is my first project with half blinds.
Finished with a little dye mix of dark red mahogany and yellow on the maple.Followed by 4 coats of Ruby shellac.2 coats each of garnet and ruby on the cherry followed by 4 blonde on everything out front and sides etc.
Measures 24 1/4” tall by 15 3/4 at widest by 9 3/4 deep.
Was fun to build, alot of hybrid action.I may end up swapping out the knob with a arts n crafts small drop knob ,something with contrast,but we’ll see.Also not exactly sure what to call this thing;bookshelf,stash shelf etc.
Comments and critiques welcome.

That’s a great looking cabinet Brandon. You could even mount it on the wall if
you had a couple of back rails in it. I like the dovetailed drawer as well.

Sweet! Really nice job. Personally I like the Shaker wood pull on the drawer, but that’s my opinion for what it’s worth.
Like the wall cabinet, thanks for showing.

Turned out real nice Brian, the wood and construction look sweet. The dovetails look pretty sweet too. Well done. I like the idea of a craftsman pull over the shaker knob.

Nice build, and nice choice of materials. I don’t think it matters what you call it.

I have also had one of these in my thoughts for a while. Every time I see one here I get closer to the attempt. Nice job on this project.
-- Robert, so much inspiration here, and so little time!
