American black walnut. Bird's eye maple drawer. Turned pulls, brass hinges, hand-cut dovetails. Sized for three bottles and a set of glasses.
Not because they copy each other's work. Because they steal ideas, proportions, little details — then mix them together until the work becomes their own.
The case is American black walnut. The board-and-batten door reads as a single warm plane, quartered so the grain rises straight through it. Square through-tenons anchor the corners, hand-fit and left proud so you can feel them.
Pull the drawer and the wood changes. Bird's eye maple — pale, chatoyant, dotted with the little swirls the name comes from — joined to the walnut sides with hand-cut dovetails. The turned pulls are contrasting wood. The hinges are solid brass.
It's not officially for sale — but I'm listening. If this cabinet belongs in your home, tell me what it's worth to you. The right offer walks away with it.
