I have always wanted to build a Krenov-style chest on stand and as part of my overall plan to get rid of all the cheap bedroom furniture I have, I went for this jewelry cabinet for my wife. Took me longer than I care to admit do to many starts and stops. Primary woods are cherry, white oak and maple. Drawers are also maple and the pulls are wenge. I bought some really nice thick QS white oak veneers to use on the carcass back and sides and the doors. I fought with the stupid knife hinges to a stalemate and gave up. The finish is BLO with several coats of wiping varnish and wax. Apologies for the dark pictures, this corner of the room is several lacking natural light. The pictures also make the cherry seem much redder than it is in reality.
