The Boss wanted a "Chimney Cupboard" to sit in a corner. Corner has an outside wall to the left, and a Chimney chase to the right
378010
Need to clean this spot out. We looked around, and found something she liked....called a stepback cupboard, where the top half "steps back". Plan was to use the upper case as a Bookcase...the bottom case was to house most of the "Household Tools" sitting on that old kennel...so, after about 45bf of Ash, a bit of handtool work, a lot of cussing;) And a few odds and ends...here we go..:D

Amber Shellac turned the Ash a golden/orange colour...
378012
Two bottom shelves will not get any finish....tools don't mind.
378013
Same with the inside of the drawer...as I rarely finish the sides, or the insides of drawers
378014
I might need a little more practice, doing these by hand...:rolleyes:
378015
This things stands at least 6'3", will have to measure it....Bookcase is 9" deep.

Hinges were just Yard Sale finds from last year. Walnut plugs to cover the counter-bored screw-holes
Both doors have a raised panel...made using a few handplanes.
Shelves slide into place in sliding dovetails.
Width of this project was sized to fit the space...allowing for the baseboards.
Not too bad of a project? (Ash was about...$0.80a bf:eek:)
