Bird's Eye Maple Wall Cabinet
This is a simple cabinet cabinet built of beautiful Bird's Eye Maple. The wooden knob also functions as a 1/4-turn latch and the shelves inside are adjustable with a traditional adjustment system. Sold with a knob to secure cabinet to wall.
Finding the right lumber for a piece is often a matter of being in the right place at the right time. That is what happened when I found this Bird's Eye Maple. There was not much, just two narrow boards, but it struck me as the perfect amount and figure for a cabinet such as this. For Sale: $1150
