New carving project in apple: The Stern Decoration of the Royal Charles

A little side project. The Admiral wanted a little cabinet for the spices—one that keeps out sunlight so the spices stay fresh. I found a secondhand medicine cabinet online. I cleaned it, lightly sanded the inside, and thoroughly sanded the outside. I removed the glass from the door and made a panel out of cherry wood. (A tabletop that I cut into thin strips.) I covered the outside with cherry veneer and did a lot of sanding, polishing, and finishing.

Cherry wood stays beautiful. I did have to clear off my hobby table first, though. But now that the project is finished, I can set up my router station again and get back to work.
And actually it was a lot of fun to do. Especcially to get the veneer on those rounded ends and corners in a way it looks like a piece of wood.

Always nice to build a ‘spicy-cabinet’ for the Admiral, Stephan. ‘Liefde gaat door de maag!’
