The shoe cupboard

Cliona asked me to make her a cupboard to hold some of her shoes.

While I was assembling pieces of timber I had in my shed, I paid a visit to the local dump.

Here I discovered and salvaged this carcass.

I was glad to have the basic structure.

It needed cleaning and a bit of re-joining. I removed the warped floor and shelf.

I made the drawers and panelled doors from recycled boards and three-ply.

I bought a lovely piece of Douglas Fir for the top; cut, joined and routed it..

I salvaged a carved head board from the Nicole tip and cut it to size.

I made shelf supports and slat shelves out of scrap ... and presented the finished cupboard to my darling wife for Christmas.
