Called a Stepback Cupboard, because the upper half “steps” back….will be going into a corner, between an outside wall, and a Chimney bumpout. Made from Ash. Used 1/4” plywood for the drawer bottom and the backs of the two cases. Hinges were from a yard sale last year. Finish is about 2-3 coats of Amber Shellac. Handcut, halfblind dovetails for the drawer front. This thing stands just over 6’3” tall…
walnut plugs to cover counter-bored screws. Both doors have raised panels, made with a handplane..or three.
Upper half is to be a bookcase. First Project of 2018.

Nice job, Bandit. Is it the lighting, or is the piece kinda orange looking?

Build looks good…........it only takes a little more effort to finish the drawer and inside the cabinet.

The Amber Shellac gave things a Golden colour….camera turned it a bit orange….
I do not usually finish the insides of drawers. Takes too long to get the smell out.
The “open area” between the two units has been closed, now..
Made a simple little drawer…
Thanks for following along.
