My goal for this cabinet was to get some practice with
marquetry and create something fun and functional.
It was winter when I was building it, and the image of
cherry blossoms seemed especially appealing. The
main body of the cabinet is made out of western maple,
and the door is veneered plywood. The veneer is 1/8"
and home-made.

This cabinet was designed to
function as a bathroom vanity
for our home. It is finished with
a 3-part oil.
|
| |
The door is plywood with solid
wood edging, and 1/8" home-made
veneer over top, inside and out. The
mirror is held in place by small leaves
which contain hidden rare-earth magnets,
allowing for easy removal for cleaning. To
remove the mirror, you simply have
to pull the leaves out of their housings.

This is a close-up shot of the
hinges on the door. They are
branches that wrap around the
cabinet and door. The hinges are
made out of walnut and the leaves
are poplar. They are pinned on with
1/8" brass rod.
