Shoe cabinet finished and installed
Shoe cabinet finished and installed
January 9, 2009That’s it!. I think it looks good, although I could not match the panels like I wanted, because I did not have enough wood (I wasted quite a bit because of various mistakes while preparing the pieces).
It certainly does its job, we will see how well it ages. I already know I won’t do another large cabinet in alder again. The wood is not hard enough. It’s okay for panels, as long as the joint is concealed (I found a shrinkage of about 1% after finishing with tung oil, even through the wood had been carefully air-dried for almost 4 years). I will stick to cherry, walnut and ash.
