Chimney Cupboard
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. Our Chimney Cupboard 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. The 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. You also get a printed shopping list you can take to your local lumberyard or home center. The list includes all the wood, supplies, and tools you'll need to build this cupboard.
Overall dimensions: 23-1/2" wide x 78" high x 13-3/4" deep
