| This Chimney Cupboard is built in two parts -- an upper
and a lower case. And to make it easy to build, the construction of both
is almost identical. For a country-style project like this, no other wood
seems quite as appropriate as pine.
The Chimney Cupboard in the photo was built with #2 common pine. Using pine also allows you to use commercial grade moldings and beaded boards for the back. These are available at home centers and lumberyards. Our Chimney Cupboard is 23-1/2" wide x 78" high x 13-3/4" deep. We stained it with honey maple stain and then topped with an oil finish to give it a warm, old-time look. The Chimney Cupboard plans include a fourteen-page step-by-step booklet and five 18" x 24" sheets of shop drawings. |
