Ah the curio”¦ it’s inspiration came out of shear need. A need to house all 150 of my wives shot glasses. The design is probably basic as curio cabinets go however the thought was something simple but yet elegant. Although it appears basic in nature it was constructed without plans and on the fly and was most likely the most expensive and most labor intensive project I have constructed to date at probably 100+ hours of labor and maybe $900 of course had I of prepared a better set of plans rather than a sketch and most likely would have went faster. The cabinet stands at about 5’8” high and about 18” wide. The curio was constructed from quarter sawn white oak and features one 15W halogen light in the top and in the bottom display areas. All the glass with the exception of the mirrors is beveled which along with the lighting helps bring out the sparkle of the glasses. The finish consisted of about 12 hours of fuming, a glazing process followed by multiple coats of Arm-R-Seal.
