Spaulted Maple Whiskey Cabinet

This cabinet was designed to hold a collection of Scotch whiskey. The cabinet holds up to 8 bottles of Scotch and 4 glasses. The stand and the body of the cabinet are made from Black Walnut, and the door panels, back panels and interior shelf are made from Spalted Maple from the 2015 OneTree Project tree. The door pulls were carved from a small Maple Burl which I had kicking around the shop.

I made this piece for the OneTree Project show which was held at the Robert Bateman Centre in Victoria, BC in 2015. This show featured the work of 41 artisans who all created furniture, instruments, sculptures, turnings, etc., from the wood of an enormous Maple tree which was harvested on Vancouver Island.

The cabinet is 18 1/2″ wide, 12 1/2″ deep and 55″ high, and is finished with Osmo Polyx®-Oil.

The OneTree Project and my Whiskey Cabinet were also featured in an article written by Rob Brown in Canadian Woodworking Magazine.
