This Colonial style pine wall cupboard was based on an FWW article by Mike Dunbar. The piece includes custom cornice and base moldings, floating tongue and groove back panels, awrought iron H-hinges, and lathe-turned cherry knob with a spinner latch. Interior finish is a cream colored milk paint. Exterior finish is 2 coats of tea stain (made by brewing a really strong batch of orange pekoe tea), 2 coats of clear shellac, and a topcoat of paste wax.

Nice - I did that piece, from the same article, as a cupboard for my planes:

Best, Serge
