I haven't posted any projects lately because I have been working on a snack tray cabinet. It's from the December 2008 issue of Woodsmith Magazine. First appearance of the project looks like a small cabinet that would go by the end of a sofa, for example. It looks like it has five drawers, but it actually only has 1 drawer 4 fold up smack trays that inhabit the other four "drawer" slots. In the magazine, it was made from cherry, but I made it from red oak. I used red oak because that is what my wife wanted. I never got started on it before she passed, but I decided to honor her wishes anyway. I used two different stains on it, Minwax Golden Pecan, and Minwax Honey Maple gel stain. I wanted to experiment with the gel stain to see if I liked it. The jury is still out. I also tried some gel polyurethane, with the same resulting opinion. The colors of the two stains were almost identical. I didn't want a heavy stain, just light tint to match the coffee table I made from red oak several years ago. This is the cabinet as it will normally look. This is showing the one drawer pulled out. And this shows one of the snack trays opened up, with the other three partially extended from the cabinet.
