Scandinavian Corner Cabinet
This Corner Cabinet is reminiscent of cabinets found in rural Scandinavian homes. Because these were utilitarian cabinets, they were often made of the least expensive lumber—native pine. The joinery was equally simple and straightforward—butt joints held together with nails.
We followed tradition in our choice of wood, but we “upgraded” the joinery a bit. We also designed the back so the cabinet will fit tightly in a corner, even if the corner isn’t exactly 90 degrees.
CONSTRUCTION. We built our cabinet out of clear, quartersawn, ¾″-thick Ponderosa pine.
Overall dimensions: 21-3/4"W x 14-1/4"D x 30-1/4"H
