This cabinet is based on the design from Matthew Teague’s Fine Woodworking article, Wall Cabinet in Cherry. I adjusted the dimensions to fit my needs as a medicine cabinet for my master bathroom. It’s about 18” high x 12” wide by 4” deep.
The cabinet was built using scrap walnut. I chose the best grain for the most prominent parts. The door panel was re-sawed and bookmatched from the most interesting board I had. The top and bottom were glued-up panels since I didn’t have any pieces that were wide enough as-is. I used 1/4” red oak plywood veneered with peel-and-stick walnut veneer for the back panel. I also turned the knob which was probably the most fun part for me.
The finish is simply three coats of Minwax Tung Oil Finish followed by a coat of wax applied with #0000 steel wool.

Great cabinet there, looks beautiful. Love the cherry, and the book matched door is super. Shaker design and cherry wood, can’t go wrong with that combination.

Excellent cabinet, I love the WALNUT! You did a nice job choosing your grain to highlight the wood. The rails and stiles really allow the panel to shine. Thanks for sharing.
