Cherry Cabinet

The doors

I used my winding sticks to make sure I remove the twist.

I used my fore plane to go corner to corner to take out the twist.

After making the grooves, I used my looong paring chisel to clean things up.

Making haunched tenons.

And then finally fitting the doors using the hinges a spaces.

This weekend I got a little bit of time to work more on the doors. Frames are made of the straightest grain cherry I could find. I used haunched tenons so that I could run the grooves from end to end of both the rails and the styles.

I can’t wait to see how the curly cherry panels look in these frames.

Starting on the doors

Today I installed to drawer slides using a plywood spacer.

Then I cut all the parts for the doors and arranged them to make sure grain patterns work. Next I’ll make the mortise, tenons and grooves for the door panels.
