As many of you know my wife and I had a new home built with my 3 car
shop and her upstairs quilting studio. The only real thing lacking in
this new home was kitchen pantry storage. This particular house comes
in two styles. A 2 story and a 1 story. The 1 story has a walk in
pantry, the 2 story sacrifices the walk in pantry so that a staircase
could be added. About 15 months ago I began designing a free standing
pantry to place on a 15' long and 11' tall wall. Yesterday I finished
the "Country Style Pantry" and my wife is once again happy with her
kitchen. The 26 drawers that I built for this unit put me at 98 drawers
that I built this year. The pantry is 8'x 8'x 16"deep.

Looks great. Can I ask what materials you used?

Oh Nooooo that is a big secret! LOL And thank you.

Greg the dark and lighter wood is white oak. I used General Finishes
Water based Dye Stain Dark Brown and plain oil based varnish on
everything except the actual drawer bodies. The drawer bodies are made
from 1/2" Baltic birch with rabbited corners reinforced with domino tenons.

That's beautiful, Leon. The drawer pulls are really striking. I may
need to borrow that idea for a piece I'm working on now.

Thank you Larry, borrow away! Here is another version of that pull on a
much larger drawer. I actually used them on top and bottom of 4 drawers.

Thank you

Nice job Leon, nice pulls, nice contrast in colors.

I was looking at the other photos in your album. The quilted box caught
my eye, because when I look at the unfinished version it looks very
flat, but the finished version has radiused edges on the pieces. Was the
unfinished not glued, and just set in place? I like the effect of the
radiused edges, nice work.

98 drawers, eh? You would think that the women folk would run out of things
to put in those numerous drawers.

Looks good Leon. If the builder doesn't give you a pantry, Leon will build
one!

No kidding, I did similar small drawers in out other house but only 10
and those were filled in short order. That was in addition to the 8
regular drawers and 3, 36" wide drawers.

Thank you

Well those 98 drawers were for 7 different jobs.
There are several new homes in the neighborhood with our floor plan, I
am hoping to perhaps build the pantry again and again and.... I just
need to show it off now.

look also.

Ohhhhhh, yes, again, the pieces were NOT glued in place until after the
round over, and finish was applied.

pantry to place on a 15' long and 11' tall wall. Yesterday I finished
the "Country Style Pantry" and my wife is once again happy with her
kitchen. The 26 drawers that I built for this unit put me at 98 drawers
that I built this year. The pantry is 8'x 8'x 16"deep.

I'm gonna tell your wife that you have women everywhere getting into
your drawers, boy. That'll teach you to brag.

Oh, I saw them when they were pointed out to me, Leon. But most women
wouldn't allow something as ugly and pedestrian as steps in their
precious kitchen! Sacre bleu, eet joost eezn't doone!

Maybe you can make another identical set and put them on the other side
of the cabinet so they look like part of the cabinet.
That way, both of you can access the drawers at the same time.
Otherwise, get rid of them and use a kitchen chair to get up there like
the rest of us do. :-)

No, LOL the less than pretty parts would be the birch plywood drawer
bottoms and the backs of the lower cabinets.

Nice work Leon - however, I could not get away with that. We have different
definitions of a pantry up here. Gotta have room for cans and boxes on the
shelves, and none of the froo-froo stuff.

That fluff stuff is about 78" from the floor. You really would not want
to put food up high and out of reach.. LOL

Thank you!

I just wanted to tell you I think your piece is absolutely stunning.
If you are at all interested in being an author, you should probably
send your photos to a magazine or two.

Yup. Really nice looking build. The only downside is that everything
else you make has to match this piece.

I'm always jealous of what you build. Not of the pieces themselves,
but the fact that you have a suitable space to build it in. When I
dream of winning the lottery, it's not tropical vacations and naked
women I think about, it's the house with a really nice workshop I
imagine. I'm not quite sure if my imagination is working properly or
not. ???

Thank you Dave, the down side began early last year with the bedroom
tower project. That piece is one that I am particularly proud of and I
wanted this piece to follow suite. If only they were not on such a
large scale. ;!)

I do enjoy the room although I have so darn busy since we moved in 12
months ago I have not really had a chance to put things where they need
to be. That task began today by relocating the freezer. Later this
week a few other items will be relocated and I hope to finally move my
lumber stash from the old house to the new one. Thank heavens our son
bought our older house so we were not rushed to move although I think he
may be getting a bit tired of waiting. LOL

Suite (hotel) (from gagmewithaspoonbeggars Wikipedia)
A suite in a hotel or other public accommodation, denotes a class of
luxury accommodations, the key feature of which is multiple rooms.
Many properties have one or more "honeymoon suites", and sometimes the
best accommodation is called the "presidential suite".

Sorry. I just hadda do it.

I hope it's a very recently purchased freezer. The old ones suck
energy like they were going out of style.

Don't worry. I think he knows how slowly old people get around to
doing things.


Are you guys as dead in the winter as I am? I have a LifeAlert
installation today and 2-3 hours on Friday with an old client, with
one hour put in last week. That's it for the month so far. sigh

I agree ... and I actually got to 'tush' it! Photos do not do it justice.
