Whisky and wood

[janedavitt]

David has a huge single malt collection that's taking up way too much room in the kitchen cabinets and bowing the shelves so we decided to build a cabinet for it from scratch using real, solid wood. Got to put doors on it, but here it is so far. It's red oak, wiped over with tung oil.

Table saws are scary as hell, fyi.

HOLY CRAP!!! That is amazing!!! I am so impressed. :-D

It's taken weeks and there's sawdust everywhere, lol, but it's really cool to make it from scratch. We used a router and did dado rails for the shelves and everything. The oil is a little pungent though!

Did you get my emails yesterday, WG? Sent the book back to you.

[wesleysgirl]

I did and wrote you an email this morning and then failed to actually hit SEND, LOL. :-P

[janedavitt]

LOL, glad it's not just me who does that :-))

I have a fair collection of miniatures, but I'd be drinking the contents of the full-sized bottles :-)

The shelving looks good, though. Well done!

[janedavitt]

Heh, you're welcome to my share ;-))

That's gorgeous.

[janedavitt]

Thank you! it's satisfying to make it yourself and we could get the shelves exactly the right width apart.

Looks great! Congrats!

Table saws are the scariest. My dad does all the cutting for me because I just can't deal with it.

I just have visions of fingers flying off ::shudders::
