Cedar Medicine Cabinet
G'day fellers. Just finished a Qld Red Cedar & Qld Maple medicine cabinet. Finished with several coats of Tung Oil blend + 2 coats of Traditional Wax. The Hounds tooth banded inlay is also one of my creations. A different sort of look for a medicine cabinet, with the Maple Dentil trim top & bottom.

Thanks ClintO. It really is a 'medicine cabinet'. The wife is a diabetic, so half the thing will be filled with packets of pills etc, the rest of it will be filled with the usual small box's of panadol and vitamins etc etc.

That 'will' make a statement wherever you hang it. Very nice job you've done there, well done.

That is not a medicine chest. It is a work of art.
My age is still less than my number of posts

This is Far North Queensland, our timbers are different to the southern ones. Originally Posted by bench1holio

Notice pariss lives in Cairns, the wet tropics and he did say "Queensland Red Cedar"

Thanks fellers for the kind posts. Re-the Cedar. I was told at the timber yard that it was Qld Cedar, but the bloke was a bit slow on the up-take, so I'm bamboozled as to exactly what breed of Cedar it is. All I know is I'm glad it's finished as I unfortunately discovered I am VERY allergic to the fine dust it throws off when sanded. Nearly ended up in the hospital.
. Never had Asthma before, but my lungs sounded like bagpipes about 5 hours after being exposed to the fine dust from sanding, YES, drum sander was connected to dust extractror. Three weeks later I am still wheezie from the experience. The left over Cedar is in the wheelie bin now !!! 
I never forget anything I remember !!
