Our spice cabinet has always been one of our most popular classes. Now we've added even more details to this beautiful piece. You can choose between two traditional doors: A double arched tombstone, or a Chester County line & berry inlay door. We've carefully designed each door to be beautiful--so you'll have a tough decision! The new interior has more details, too, including thirteen drawers and a few hidden compartments just for fun. You can also choose between bracket feet or ogee feet.

"I thoroughly enjoyed the class! Lonnie is a master furnituremaker as well as a consummate teacher and fun to be around."--John O., GA

 Each participant must mill the stock for the main box and dovetail the case at home before the class begins. This will provide valuable time during class to work on the line & berry door, tombstone door, interior dividers, feet, molding and other details. We'll send you a drawing with the dovetail layout so you'll have plenty of time to work at your own pace and cut the dovetails before class begins.
