This cabinet is my own design but inspired after Michael Hurwitz’s “Chinese Cracked-Ice Display Cabinet.”  It is 71 in tall by 38in wide and 16 in deep.  The carcass, doors and arch were made from 5/4 Red Oak,  with ¼ in Red Oak plywood.  The four Birch-plywood shelves were installed in Poplar frames. The one drawer, on sliders, provides space of 24 in wide by 13.5 in deep and 5 in height. The lattice work door was fabricated from 5/4 1-1/2 in Red Oak strips, rough band sawing  the design, and using a homemade jig on a router table for final cutting; thence, cutting the strips in half, reversing one and gluing the halves together, mounting the assembly into a frame. The solid raised panel door was of 5/4 Red Oak installed in a tongue and groove frame. Unit was finished using Miniwax’s “Red Oak stain and Wax.
