Craftsman Curio Cabinet
This Craftsman Curio Cabinet puts your collectables and your craftsmanship in the best possible light.
The clean lines and quartersawn oak tell you it's a Craftsman-style cabinet. But the glass makes it special. To allow you to see what's inside, this cabinet has beveled glass panels in the doors and on each end. Even the shelves are made of glass so you can see from top to bottom.
The glass doesn't make the cabinet harder to build, but it does make it heavy. That's why we used Craftsman style joinery - sturdy mortise and tenon joints.
We built our Craftsman Curio Cabinet out of white oak. There are two 1/4"-thick plywood panels in the back. The glass shelves are adjustable.
Overall dimensions: 56-1/2" high x 36" wide x 17" deep
