Budget build #2 | Walnut shop cabinet made entirely of scrap.

Made 100% from scrap wood cut-offs and remnants. Not a penny was spent on material. Built as a shop cabinet to hold glue bottles 😬

Walnut (scrap)
Pomelle sapele veneer (remnant)
Figured quarter-sawn ash (scrap)
Recycled hardware
Hand cut dovetails
Sliding dovetails
4 finish coats

I used this project to continue learning the veneer process. This cabinet taught me a hard lesson about glue bleed-through, which I’m thankful for. Shop projects are the best test-beds for this.  

Now to load this thing up with filthy bottles of adhesive 🥺
