This cabinet is made from Maple. The wicker is beech. The mouse is Cherry.  The dovetails are a design I came up with thinking that it would be neat to do something more difficult then a standard dovetail.  These were very difficult because of the curves and sharp corners.  It was difficult to get tools in to clean them up while keeping them tight.  The mouse is handcarved and my gf tole painted it.  It's whiskers are paint brush bristles.  This cabinet was made to store my spices.

(Even after you mentioned the mouse was Cherry--I thought that was it's NAME!). Then I went WOW!... it's carved!! Very cool dovetail design--the center reminds me of a guillotine blade--perhaps for the fate of the invading varmint?
