Finally Something For Sale...







FOR SALE

















It seems like everything I've posted so far has been of the "not-for-sale" ilk. Now I finally have something that is for sale. This armoire is about 97% reclaimed wood. The only non-reclaimed wood I used was cedar for the drawer boxes. The overall dimensions are 69.5"h x 49.5"w x 20"d and the upper opening is  38"h x 31.5"w x 18"d. It also has two drawers, each being 6.5"h x 30.5"w x 14.5"d. The upper opening has a second shelf that is technically permanent but I can remove it if you want me to. 

Fair warning: This piece is almost entirely heart pine so it is pretty heavy. 

If you're interested in buying, email me at: sawesomefurniture@gmail.com with any questions

Asking price: $2,000 + shipping (if applicable)

I've been working on this armoire for about 2 months or so. I probably could've done it faster, but since I wasn't building it for anyone in particular, I just went at my own pace. 

It all started with this pile of wood. I used almost every piece in this picture:



The first thing I did was use a planer to get these pieces and attached them together for my top piece.


Then I cut the long white column in half to make my sides and attached them to the top.


 One of my favorite features of this piece is the sides and back being covered with siding, although I realized, after I got the whole thing covered, that I put them on upside down. I came back and fixed them later, but that frustrated me for awhile.


 Finally, I built the drawers and put the shelves in and it's done.






Thanks for reading and again, email me with any questions.
