Filing Cabinet

Here it is, the Walnut filing cabinet that goes with the desk. There are two pull-out drawers on top (later on that) and the sliding doors below which hide the pull-out hanging file drawers. The doors are book-matched and are also matched to the top of the piece.















With the door open you can see two of the four legal sized hanging file drawers, these drawers are also book-matched. Above, are the pull-out drawers, look closely and you will notice the facade matches up (this is one board cut just in the right place) the circle pattern is where a branch was attached to the tree. I used Bloodwood for the Bow-Tie handles which ties in nicely with the desk.

Next is the top, after French polishing it with twelve coats the piece has great depth (it looks like you could reach into the wood). Notice the oval pattern (again where a branch would have been attached to the tree). As I mentioned before if you look at the first picture you will see the same pattern in the sliding door. (it is the same piece of wood)















The drawers frames are made from cherry, and are joined with half-blind dovetails. I used a router on these because of how many were needed (typically I hand cut all my joinery).














If you look closely, you can see one more detail that I added, walnut book-matched drawer bottoms (yeah, a little over the top).
