The cabinet face is dark cherry with a gloss varnish Interior and hidden work is poplar or some other white wood Except for the drawer and the doors all joints are butt joints secured with nails.

This cabinet is divided into two sections for easier transport The joining of the upper and lower sections is concealed by the band

of trim just above the drawer.

If I were going to reproduce the cabinet, I'd choose a hardwood plywood for the shelves and back, and face it with solid lumber.

A word about the size of this piece: of the six houses it's been in since my family acquired it, only one has had more than one place

it would fit The only place it fits in my present home covers a small closet door.
