Chinese Elm, European Cherry, Western Maple, Japanese Maple, Ornimental Maple, and Boxwood.

This Cabinet measures about 35" tall, 36" wide, and 12-13" deep.

A certain log and plank caught my interest and a form very close to the final outcome quickly came to mind. I think one of the toughest and luckiest parts was finding a wood for the leg system I felt was approperiate. The form was loosely based on and idea of a tea cabinet but really can be used for what ever one desires.
