Project Information
My parents remodeled the kitchen in their 1960s house a few years ago. A couple closets were part of the remodel. I took the shelf boards from those closets, not wanting them to go in the trash. My wife saw the boards and asked if I could use the wood to build something for her. She wanted a cabinet for a small corner in our kitchen that she could use to organize mail and other papers. We worked on the design together, so it has design elements and hardware that she likes. This is what we ended up with. The wood, which I believe is pine, but could be spruce or fir, turned out to be very nice; tight grain, fairly clear, nice color. We had just enough material for the project. It is finished with shellac, some General Finishes Golden Pine gel stain (I'm not sure if this even made a difference since it seemed to all get wiped off), and General Finishes Arm-R-Seal satin finish.
