Very nice work.

Could you provide some basic dimensions for over all proportions? I would like to give it a go.

Chet,

This is Martha from Lonnie’s class. It is nice to see your cabinet with the finish on. It is just beautiful. This might even inspire me to put the back on mine and apply the finish!

Great job on the cabinet. What did you learn in the first 2 classes if you don’t mind me asking? It seems a lot of great teachers live in the east. I am going to have to start spending more time looking for some in Portland. Oregon that is not Maine. lol

Cherry does oxidize in light. Even artificial light. We sometimes work with cherry in the shop I work for. Always keeping blankets on it when we are not working with it.

Masterfully done Chet.

Interesting that you set the piece outside to darken the wood. Did it work?
I usually find the sun bleaches my wood rather than darkens it. At least over any significant time.

Hi runningwood,

I did finish the inside with a couple coats of the clear General Finishes Varnish.

Thanks,

I did take the class. It was my 3rd class with Lonnie and it is an awesome learning environment. It’s a 11 hour drive from Detroit but well worth it.

That is really nice Chet ! I love how the finish came out. I am curious, did you finish the inside and if so, how.

I recently made a similar corner cabinet, but with nowhere near the adornemnts you completed. I too had clamping issues for the funny angles on the front, I like your clamping solutions.
