This cabinet was made from Cherry, milled by the recipient’s deceased grandfather, with spalted, curly Maple veneered sides and doors, made from wood salvaged from a pallet. The doors bend in two planes both top to bottom and side to side. The legs are steam bent in a compound curve as well. It also has a hand dovetailed drawer.

Clearly not a student of the late great james Krenov There appears to be a great lack of harmony throughout the piece Although I'm sure its well constructed with faltless joints and well finished but would suggest the maker reads A CABINET MAKERS NOTEBOOK TO SEE SOME TRULY GREAT CABINETS ON STANDS

sorry about that and I for the moment will refuse to play whistler to your ruskin
Jasonmcbain don't pay attention to the absurd drivel ukmeager wrote. You've got a great cabinet here. Those compound curves in the doors are very difficult to pull out and you did great. The choice of woods is excellent and the overall feeling very pleasant.
ukmeager, you are anything but polite. Let's see, random things that come to my mind are, in no particular order:
- All cabinets on stand DO NOT have o be a Krenov imitation. He didn't even invented the concept.
- Krenov was very good but by no means the overrated great master everybody pretends him to be. After all, he only made infinite variations of a single cabinet for most of his career. And yes, I like and respect him very much but he was no god.
- Nobody has the right to destructively criticise other people's work without offering CONSTRUCTIVE and POSITIVE input on how it could be (very subjectively) "improved". By the way, you are even less qualified to do so given that you have not posted a single piece designed and executed by yourself.
- The internet is full of self-appointed gurus and experts, I prefer to call them basement jerks.
- I feel for you, living in Spain is not a choice I would make (but at the same time it explains right away your lack of politeness). :o)
- In Spain is very, very difficult to find good hardwoods but possible if you really want it, so no more lame excuses, go back to the shop and maybe this will humble you a bit.
Gentlemen, have a nice day.
Hey JM I like the cabinet. I might add, I like seeing a cabinet on a stand without "gumby" legs. For anybody who has worked curves in multiple planes, its a challenge to say the least. I hope when you got to the end you felt like you did the "special" wood justice.
Keep posting
