Materials: Solid cherry stock (for handle)
Scroll saw
Yellow wood glue
Gloves
Tung oil
Paintbrush
Cloth (for buffing)
Glass
Wood trim (made earlier)
Brass suspension pins (to hold glass trim in place)
Hammer
2 glass shelves
Shelf brackets (your choice) Note: Cut sizes may vary. For exact measurements, please contact David Marks through his Website -- information, below, under Resources. Safety Alert: Always use safety goggles when working with wood, saws, drills, etc. - Once the door has been attached to the case, it's time to add the solid cherry handle. Marks created an ornate handle that echoed the curves (figure A) of the cove molding by using a scroll saw; however, you may use any design you wish.
- Attach the handle with yellow wood glue. Let dry.
- Wearing gloves, apply tung oil with a paintbrush. It will take about four coats (dry and buff between each coat).
- To oxidize the cabinet, set it out in the sun to dry.
Note: When exposed to the sun, cherry wood will oxidize to a beautiful deep red hue. - The next-to-last step is to install the glass for the door. Place the glass in the door frame, then secure the wood trim (created earlier -- see Installing Door Frame) with brass suspension pins, hammering gently.
- The final step is to install the 2 glass shelves.
