Hi! This cabinet is made of solid quartersawn sapele that I had left from my first apothecary cabinet build almost two years ago. The dimensions are about 40" x 20" x 7". The joinery for the outer case uses dowels while the inner dividers use stopped dados. I used AutoCAD to model the drawing but usually measure off my workpiece to get the exact fit right.

The drawers are made of maple but feature a walnut book match running vertically. The drawer hardware along with the hooks had conflicting finishes so I painted them to match. The finish on the wood is danish oil.

The fabric was picked out from a local fabric store and is stapled to a 1/2" plywood pack panel. Behind that panel is a 1/2" French cleat which mates with another cleat on the wall.

Thanks for watching!
