linen cabinet

My Aunt asked me if I would build her a linen cabinet to put in her sons bathroom. All she gave me was the dimensions she needed and she wanted oak. It'll have 5 shelves and space for a hamper on one side.

These shots are with one coat of satin poly on. It's oak ply I got from an actual supplier not one of the borgs. It cost a little more but the quality was way better and it was made in the US. I'll not get ply from the borg again!

I edged the inside edge of both doors with purple heart to give it a little flash. I think it breaks up the monotony of the oak. I put a purple heart band on the shelves also. He's in a wheel chair so I put 170 degree hinges on so he will have better access.

Looks good

Looks real good. The purple heart really gives it a sophisticated look. Nice job.

the purple heart did add to the whole picture , nice to see some more flat work emerging to fend off the spinny stuff.. we need the variety john

It is an experience to use quality plywood after using BORG stuff for awhile isn't it. That piece came out really nicely and the trim is a great addition. I don't use much in the way of sheet goods but have a hallway linen cupboard rebuild on the to-do list and your pics are sure timely for me.

Ditto what the others have said. Great job, John.

a two thumbs up on this one John ..............

Thanks for the replies everyone. I have finished this one up and will deliver it on Sunday. I'm just waiting for the finish to get good and dry. I'm going to try and finish up a jewelry chest/box I've been working on for my daughter. It's been slow going on that one trying to decide how I want to do the doors and drawer fronts.
