This armoire is made of cherry and measures approximately 78” x 48” x 28” deep. The finish is a 1 pound cut blonde dewaxed shellac that was sprayed on; one coat on the entire piece and three coats on the internal components. The outside was then finished with General Finishes Arm-R-Seal oil and urethane topcoat; two coats gloss and one coat semi-gloss. I built it for my son; his room has no closet, so this will serve that purpose.

As always, I am curious if you used a set of plans, and if so, would you share were you got them?

Milo: I did not use a set of plans. I sketched the design by hand and then flew by the seat of my pants. I did use Jeff Miller’s idea for the adjustable shelf standards from his “Build a Classic Cherry Bookcase” video series on finewoodworking.com, I eyeballed what he did and went from there.

Everyone: Thank you for the compliments.
