Your sewing cabinet is wonderful, Karen. DH is a great woodworker. Did he have a pattern for it or make one up himself?

What a beautiful cabinet.
Your hubby is a gifted carpenter.
Is that Oak? Such detailed grain in the wood.
Thank you for sharing.

Beautiful Cabinet. Tell your DH that he did a fantastic job. My DH does not do that kind of stuff, I had to pay a bundle for mine.

Thank you for the compliment.

The cabinet is Red Oak with Minwax Special Walnut #224 and clear Polyurethane. The drawer components are made with Alder and finished with shellac.

To have any piece of furniture custom made is very expensive. I'm so fortunate that my DH is so talented.

Honey, that man is a definite keeper!!! I love the way it folds all up so you can hide everything if you need to. And when it's all folded up, it looks like a very expensive credensa (is that the right word?)
