Building a fine grade cabinet is really a bit hard for the first time but afterward all things will go along smoothly. You have a nice choice of wood; I hope it’s not a redwood oak. When I first made my hand made cabinet my father taught me to make a sketch of it with proper measurement.

You have a nice choice of wood, but its not redwood oak I hope, because its wood color is a bit hard to combine with the varnish. When I first made my hand made cabinet my father teach me to make a sketch of it with it measurement, I just remember it and thought to share it with you, I hope it can help.

No the oak i use is more of a whiteish oak. I built our entire bar and bar back cabinet ( 20 some odd feet of bar and shelving out of it .. ) I think it turned out pretty well it took stain great ..
