The door panels and sides were all book-matched from a single slab of incredible quilted Maple. The drawer fronts, legs and base are made from beautifully figured Claro Walnut. The exposed joinery on the base is through mortise and tenon with Maple wedges. The hand-shaped legs and stretchers on the base are also book-matched, as is the solid wormy Maple back panel, and the wormy Maple drawer sides. 

All outer surfaces of the cabinet have were sanded to 1500 grit. It is finished with 6 coats of a tung oil and varnish mix, and buffed with 3 coats of wax.

The cabinet is 27” wide, 17” tall and 12” deep, and it stands 58” tall overall.
