This is the first piece i ever built about a week ago and delivered it to my wife on December 23rd. The piece is built from 3/4" Birch Plywood sides and shelves w/ 3/4" pine edge trim, 1x4 pine face frame and 1/4 pine plywood back. it is 84" tall, 16" deep and 30" wide. It is finished with Watco "Dark Walnut" Danish Oil. My wife has made due with a terribly small kitchen for the past 6 years and I promised I would build this for her. She cried when i unveiled it to her Christmas morning.

The cabinet is now full and everything that was put in there from the cramped cabinets has us now pretty well spread out in the kitchen. I believe the next objective will be a Buffet Hutch. Then i'll just have to figure out where to put it. lol Thanks again for the kind words everybody. It is very encouraging. Happy New Year!

Walt Walt writes: Great job! This is a first project to be proud of. If you guys are like most the piece will soon be too small for all of the "stuff" that will get put in there. That will lead to another project. Keep up the great work.

This weekend I am putting together a temporary table top to mount onto my saw horses so i have some type of work bench to work on. Thanks again and Happy Holidays!

My husband is the carpenter and I have been blessed with somoe beauties...I do other creative things and love to think of the person I am creating for. A gift from the heart is the most precious.
