Small Showcase Cabinet
Showcase Cabinet in Teak and Alaskan Yellow Cedar. Oil finish outside, shellac-and-wax polish inside.
This is a small showcase cabinet I made as my final project while attending the College of the Redwoods’ Fine Woodworking Program. The idea was to keep the design as simple (and manageable) as possible, and use the project as an exercise in veneering and glasswork – two techniques for which the school is particularly known.

The case of the cabinet is veneered over Baltic-birch ply and doweled together. The door is a solid, bent-laminated frame with three panes of glass. Both veneer and laminates are shop-sawn.

Detail of the inside of the door. Glass mullions are held in with stops, which are in turn held in with small brads.
-
Detail of the top corner of the cabinet. The hinges are made by Bob Sanderson, of Wood Joint Studio in Fort Bragg, CA. These are, in my opinion, the best hinges money can buy.
-
The door is held in place with a classic, Krenov-style spring-loaded flipper, mortised into the top interior face of the cabinet.

the sides look like they've been bent too or at least set in at an angle? Spectacular work!
I love this piece Clark. I thought it looked familiar but didn't realise that "clarkatron" was you until I read the blurb at the end. I've visited your site a few times over the last few months, you have some beautiful work there. I love the Banks St. Coffee table, and am taking some inspiration from the leg and top interaction.
Congratulations on making such a beautiful item. I love the bright colour of wood inside the cabinet. I looks delicate without being flimsy. I just love it. well done
Hi. I met you last fall at the CR 25 year reunion. Nice cabinet.

hell of a job Clarkito. Hope you're doing incredibly great. It looks really nice I really like the choice of woods and the simple design.
Nice looking cabinet Clark. Adjustable shelves too! The cabinet has nice lines. Pleasing to the eye.
