Default Gun cabinet

Very nice, and I like the use of tung oil finish......
I take it you must hunt.
What is in season these winter days?

This was one of my earlier projects and my goodness, was it ever
heavy. The glass was 1/4", and added a great weight and sense of
quality to the doors.

The wood is cherry and the coating is tung oil. There's really
nothing unique about the gun cabinet with the exception of the
back of the upper part. That's 1/4" solid cherry, rather than a
plywood. Where the cabinet touches a long gun, there is a
partially inlaid leather insert as well. The drawers in the lower
cabinet are lined with green wool felt and are used for storing
ammunition, handguns and the inevitable spare parts.
