Shows the real motivation for building a version of James Krenov's wonderful design -- to house my single malt collection!

I saw another version of a Krenov-inspired cabinet in FWW, built by Michael Swift, and its elegance moved me to build my own.  Primary wood is White Oak, with Cherry panels in the doors and Hickory in the frame-and-panel back, and with contrasting Walnut slats in the stretcher.  The motivation was the wonderful Krenov design, combined with the practical need for someplace to house my single malt scotches!
