what I did with some scrap wood..

[Greg Tatum]

This is an unfinished cabinet I'm working on to store my resident's medication....I still need to make a door that I can lock...just can't deside on the style....the carcass is scraps of plywood that is maple on one side and birch on the other...picked it up from a construction site near by...the edge is trimmed with strips of lace wood and the drawer sides are mahogany....I made the drawer fronts from some bigleaf maple that I milled using an Alaskan sawmill some years ago...finally found a use for it....the corners of the carcass are mitered and on the dry fit they were almost dead on...when it came to the glue-up I didn't pay attention to the clamps and I wound up with gaps...so I cut a notch in the corners and put in the mahogany strips...worked out ok...the back is scrap walnut ply the size of which dictated the size of the project.
Anyway, thanks for looking.

Wow! That looks great. Nice use of "what's on hand"...to great effect, too. 'Can't wait to see where you take it further.

Greg,

Nice!!! Excellent use of scraps. The cabinet looks great. The drawer fronts really set it off.

If those are your scraps, I'm heading over to Tacoma ;) I'm sure it's a lot cooler than Arizona :D Nice work, can't wait to see what the finished product will look like

Excellent work, Greg! I love the way those contrasting wood tones worked out!

Thanks for the kind words...I have a lot of off-cuts and thin wood strips from testing the set up of my saw after I took it all apart (I snapped a bolt off in a trunion by over-torquing :mad: )...amazing how many "practice cuts" I took, now that I look over at the scrap bin :D
