cabinets and windows

I made mini cabinets for the great cabin.  They go high on the wall next to the stern windows.  I also glazed the windows, at last.  I made the cabinets from scratch!  I think I'm getting pretty good at making functional pieces from scratch.  Soon I'll be able to make Stephen's "object" and his apothecary case.

  





I was lazy and made the hinges out of strong Japanese paper.  I have to confess, miniature hinges are just a little bit too fiddly for me and a little trying of my patience.  I didn't feel like doing four pairs of them for such an insignificant piece of furniture.






Here's what the exterior looks like.  It's not meant to be seen, so it's nothing fancy.

Wow. That's awesome. When can we see them in action, as it were?

When I get back from the arctic! (If I don't get eaten by polar bears or gored by a musk ox.)

Thanks!

These are absolutely beautiful! I love the stains. Are they walnut? And that exterior looks pretty fancy to me!
