CONTRAST
These kitchen cabinets are an example of the contrast of totally different woods, white pine and cherry. The cabinet boxes were constructed of A2 birch plywood, the face frames white pine. The drawer fronts, doors, and solid top were built in cherry. The finish was applied by hand and it consisted of 8 coats of tung oil.
Cherry is an amazing wood as it darkens with age and exposure to light. Also as a point of note, the cherry came from the clients property. The sink and side top are of black slate constructed by a local artisan in Vermont.
