Small Cupboard 14" x 19.5" overall. Pine case, cherry kumiko panel and accents, full grain leather lined drawer bottom. I'm posting in the Neanderthal forum for a couple reasons. The lion share of the work on this pieces was performed with hand tools, I also wanted to encourage others to visit the "Sad News" post in this section and donate to Evenfall Studios.

Thanks for looking,

Ron

Very nicely done, Ron. It's beautiful. I've never done kumiko.

Saw this on Instagram. Great work!

Is the door tongue and grooved together? Glued or battens on the back?

very cool Ron. Beautiful detail work - and one of the best pine pieces I've ever seen. How tedious was the kumiko? Did you use templates or jigs? Never done it myself but might have to give it a try.

Matthew the door is held together with battens on the back. The battens are also utilized to hold the Kumiko panel in the cut out. The battens puts any movement in the gap between the boards so the fit of the door doesn't change with seasonal movement.

Bill I made some adjustable fixtures for trimming the Kumiko parts to final size with chisels. It's a very enjoyable and lends itself to hand work.

Beautiful, and it has a real seriousness that I don't usually associate with light colored woods. How will it be used?

I’m impressed also with how nice it looks in pine. I hadn’t given it much consideration for fine furniture wood but looks like I may need to reconsider. It’s plentiful in Alabama. :-)

I found the pine boards used for the case work while shopping materials for a different project. I noticed right away that these boards were not your average pine boards. They were noticeably more dense than other boards and the grain structure and color were different than most as well. I purchased them and set them aside for a special project. As they say, "the rest is history".
