Shoe Cabinet close to completion

I assembled and glued my shoe cabinet in alder (erle / aulne). The wood is not widely used because it is not very strong, but it has a beautiful yellow / orange color. The whole cabinet is solid wood. The back is pine, and the bottom is some left-over basswood (linden / tilleul) I owe the general shape to this fine cabinet I found years ago on the web, although mine is not as nice.

The doors and shelves are not yet done, and I still need to apply the finish (Tung oil and bee’s wax).
