Recently made a new bathroom cabinet to replace the 15-year old one we had used and liked that I made from pine. This is basically the same original (mine) design as the old pine one I made all those years ago and the construction is the same apart from the doors and drawers.
For the new one I off set the shelves to accommodate the sizes of items we use and also added to inner drawers which I think really add to the piece. In fact, they rather set it off in my opinion.
The drawers on the original were simply wide planks and i wanted to use shaker style panel doors this time. The main door panels were made from a thin piece of cherry board I had left over from my coffee table project (2008) and i re-sawed it into two 3mm thick veneers which were bonded to a piece of thin plywood with a piece of cherry veneer on the back to balance the stresses.
The handles and Krenov style latches were my favourite pieces to make - both hand-carved forms ebony which carves like milk chocolate (though not as tasty). The handles were my own design arrived at after playing around with a few offcuts and some carving tools.
I have to say that the latches were inspired by Woodbloke's work some time back at which time we exchanged a few pms. (ohh, and a bloke called James Krenov too
)
All joints are exposed dados cut using a router and trimmed to perfect fit using a #98 and #99 planes - I rather like showing the joinery
So, what do you think?
