This cabinet was part of a night class in introductory woodworking hosted at a local college. 
I decided to add the door stop at the top and to use rare earth magnets in both it and the doors to act as latches. I picked up all the hardware at Lee Valley and am very pleased with how it suits the arts and craft design.

Edge grain fir throughout, door panels are edge grain fir ply and the plugs are walnut.
It’s finished with three coats of danish oil and two coats of wax.

As for its use, originally I’d thought I might use it as a small tool cabinet in my shop…I think it’s serving a much more noble function as a cradle for some of my finer single malts ;).

Thanks for looking…

I plan a buffet for my dining room to house my wife's linens and silverware. It will also have a side cabinet to house my normal stash of Rye Whiskey. I plan to call the piece "Quinto Real" - The Royal Fifth.
