This is my masterpiece and my pride!
In Sweden it is tradition to do a furniture, a masterpice that will be judged and graded, as a final exam.
This tradition goes way back in the 15th century, and then you couldn't open your own joinery/ carpentry before doing your masterpiece. It not as strict anymore, but the diploma you get if you pass shows and guarantees to your future customers a certain level of craftmansship.



Cabinet in birch.
Cabinet with three drawers, three loose shelfs and a convex door

Daily DeviationCertainly a piece I would love to have in my home; the "clippers" are a great addition and as the suggester states, "What's so striking about this piece is the stunning convex door and that the only reason she didn't get a perfect mark was for minor things, like being off by only 3/10 of a millimeter around the drawers. 3/10 of a millimeter ?!?!"

snyggt skåp, gillar dom där klämmorna..
har du limmat ihop allt av mindre bitar eller är det nån typ av faner? för det ser ut dom att mönstret repeterar sig...

Tackar, tackar!
mm, klämmorna är lite smarta! :)

Det är faner, det skulle bli väldigt tungt annars - och stor chans att allt skulle spricka sönder när träet sväller och krymper.

Thanks! :)
Nope, I'm finished since a year... and looking for a full-time job as a woodworker. It's hard to find full-time jobs, but there a plenty half-time or less. Kind of sucks, but hey, it's better than nothing!
