Showcase Cabinet in Teak and Yellow Cedar

Thursday, July 24th, 2008

The door frame is made from bent-laminated teak with three panes of glass, while the cabinet itself is made from teak and Alaskan yellow cedar veneers over a Baltic-Birch plywood core.

I built the cabinet from a plank of teak that my friend Andrew was kind enough to let go of, and the last few bits of yellow cedar my friend Greg had after finishing a cabinet of his own. I couldn't have made this piece without the help of fellow wood-nerds...

All parts, including the glass stops and mullions, are carefully shaped and finished before final assembly.

The shelves are held up by adjustable, carved consoles.


This cabinet was my final project while attending College of the Redwoods’ Fine Woodworking program. It was designed as an exercise in veneering and glasswork. (Plus, if you are going to build a showcase cabinet, C/R is the place to do it.) The door consists of a bent-laminated teak frame with three panes of glass, while the cabinet is teak and yellow cedar veneer over a Baltic-ply core. Perfect for displaying Pez dispensers, tiny helper robots, or anything else that is better kept behind glass.

Dimensions: 29″ T x 18″W x 6″ D
Materials: Teak, Alaskan Yellow Cedar, Glass
Finish: Teak Oil (Outside), Shellac (Inside), Wax

This piece is currently for sale. Please contact for details.
