New Cabinets, Old Cabinets Restored and Rebuilt.
A collection of commissioned and restored cabinets of various styles and genres.
Victorian style book display cabinet in recycled northern Silky-oak.
Like early museum cabinets the book cabinet is designed to display special books open at select pages.
China Cabinet In Blackwood, Acacia Melanoxylon. This was a large, challenging and altogether enjoyable commission. From the design process right through to the shop made woodenware handles.

Simple door lock detail that allowed the inner and outer doors to operate separately or as one.
Display cabinet in reclaimed Southern Silky-oak. A while back thoughts of building a contemporary display cabinet was something that had been on my mind. So I set about designing and building this piece. Over a period of time it was entered into a couple of displays and exhibitions where it subsequently sold. Happily I still get to see it from time to time.

CD Storage Chest in reclaimed Flooded Gum and recycled Hoop pine for the drawer boxes. This large chest was created with a substantial storage area to accommodate an extensive collection of music.

Pine chest of drawers restoration and rebuild. This chest was rebuilt so it could be a bathroom cabinet. The mirror frame support was never an original part of this chest. So it was removed but the mirror frame was restored to be a wall hung mirror above the chest.

Early Queensland Maple wardrobe. These early cabinets are almost always too narrow to hang clothing in edge on. So here the brief was to extend the cabinet depth by 110mm and turn the fixed centre panel into a door. Also it was much too big to move back into my clients upstairs bedroom in one piece. So the entire job was made as a knock down so it could be reassembled in situ.
