Colonial inspired kitchen. Made of cherry with curly cherry drawer fronts. It has inset doors and drwers with mortise an tenon beaded face frames. It has a hand rubbed oil/varnish blend finish with a wax top coat. Each piece is made as free standing furniture. You can see more pictures on my website and my facebook page that show close ups and construction.
