Back in January 2018 I made a cherry wall cabinet that I shared over in the guild. During that build I set out to make 2 of the cabinets, but due to time constraints, I only made one. The leftover pieces got shoved into a closet only to sit for over a year. It's always been on the back of my mind to finish the project as I HATE having unfinished projects. If I start a project, I have to finish it before I move on to the next one. But somehow I broke my own rules and I finally decided to get it out of the closet and finish it.

This cabinet is a little different in that I didn't want to put doors on it and I wanted 3 drawers instead of glass shelves. Luckily I had enough of the curly cherry in the lumber rack left over to finish this build. The drawer boxes are maple and they are joined together using a single 1/4" dowel. One of the nicest features of the cabinet has to be the bookmatched back panel. The sapwood on this curly cherry makes it stand out even more.

For the finish, I first started by applying a blend of boiled linseed oil/tung oil/mineral spirits. I let it dry for a few days and then padded several coats of a super blonde shellac.

Thanks for checking it out. Let me know what you think!
