This piece was made for a friend whose wife passed away nearly three years ago. He wanted something to place in the church as a memorial to her. He chose the plan and the lumber and served as my helper in the shop as we worked on the cupboard. It is all 3/4 solid oak except for the back, which is oak plywood. The project took nearly a year to complete, since we were able to work only on Friday afternoons, and often scheduling conflicts prevented even that. We finally finished it in October and dedicated it in the church on All Saints’ Sunday, Nov. 4, 2012. It will be used to store and display leaflets and other materials for visitors to the church.

This reminds me of an antique piece in my Grandparents’ old farmhouse. Really beautiful and so nice of you to include your friend in the process.

What a wonderful piece. Growing up as a Methodist preacher’s kid I can assure you that thoughtful gifts such as these to the church as treasured as the years go by. I hope there is a name plate on it somewhere.

Beautiful work, Phil. Great attention to detail by incorporating tapered feed and lamb’s tongue edge. The color and uniformity of the stain is excellent!
