This Pine wall unit is part one of two. The client wanted some much needed storage space with window seats for guests. Earlier I wrote about the process of taking lumber from rough stock to finished dimensions: This piece was used for that post.
Here is the finished project.
Although it is not readily apparent, there are no fillers or spacers used in this piece. Fillers are often used to fill those little spaces between a wall and a cabinet that would otherwise be a gap. instead of using fillers we measure the exact size of the opening and build the furniture to fit perfectly, thereby giving the furniture a perfect built in appearance. Many cabinet makers would rather build to the nearest inch and fill voids during the install, but we feel that having no gaps and no fillers in a mark of real quality and attention to detail.
Drawers are fitted for a perfect 1\16" gap all the way around.
Hand cut dovetails are left with scribe lines intact for that classic look and unmistakable hand cut detail.
