Tall Cabinet:
Made from bubinga and walnut, this was my first moderate-sized case piece with a dovetailed case. It is about 60″ tall x 24″ wide, x 12″ deep. Dovetailed drawers, hand carved pulls, brass hinges and frame and panel doors added to the complexity of this challenging build. I have used this to inspire another piece of a similar style for a bathroom cabinet.

Bathroom Cabinet:
The case and frames are made from bubinga, the top, bottom, door panels and shelves are walnut. It measures a little over 24″ tall, 8″ deep and 18″ wide. The smaller parts on the door were a definite challenge and reminded me that smaller doesn’t always mean faster for a project. I figured that the downstairs bathroom is probably one of the most commonly used rooms in the house. It deserved a hand-made piece. I’ll probably do a floor cabinet as well for this room sometime in the future.

Those are some SWEET cabinets!! The grain on that first cabinet looks like it’s on fire!! How were you able to do that? I love the Asian feel of the wall cabinet. I know what you mean about smaller not always meaning fast, I made a jewelery box for my sister in-law a couple of years ago, it took FOREVER!!! Great job on both projects, they look awesome!

Very nice work, and well designed. The combination of walnut and bubinga is unusual but tasteful. Some exceptional figure on the inside of the cabinet.

Andy,
Beautiful work. I love the combination of woods. I am wondering though, what made you decide to use that combination? Did you just have bubinga and walnut in your shop at the time or was it a concious shoice? Either way both cabinets are beautiful.

Great looking cabs, I really like the second one!

I’ve always found that smaller projects are harder too. I think it comes from there being so little room for the “fudge factor”. The magnitude of the “unintended design feature” in smaller projects is much larger since there’s not much there to begin with.

Nice antique pices. Is new or is old type of furniture? I like the little one for bathroom!
