Art Deco China Cabinet
Oct 24, 2012
Woodworker: Steve Holman
Holman designed this china cabinet to match an existing Art Deco sideboard that was built between 1920 and 1940, he estimates. From the sideboard, he lifted the shapes of the curves and the exact measurements and placement of various parts and overhangs to incorporate into the new design. Matching the deep honey tones of the original piece was a challenge. After a great deal of testing, Holman finished the mahogany and nogal (a tropical walnut) with stains, orange shellac, and lacquer.
