In the spring of 2003, we moved from Denali Park, Alaska, to Gabriola Island, British Columbia so that Andy could attend a ship’s cabinetry school.
This Shaker-style hutch was his final project in August, taking over 100 hours.
Now it’s the anchor of our living room, housing the stereo and music collection.
It’s a joy to behold, and if you were to visit, I’d recommend you run your hands across it…
So smooth.
Beauty!
A beautiful family heirloom! I imagine generations to come will run their fingers over that buttery-smooth drawer.
