Shaker Gothic Jelly Cupboard (60 high X 12 deep X 22 wide, excluding moulding) $450
Based on the classic Shaker design, but gussied up with a curly maple Gothic panel.
I think the Shaker Jelly Cupboard is an example of perfect design. I've made well over a hundred of these in my career, in various sizes and with subtle design variations. This is my first one with maple embellishments, and I think it works rather well.
The Shakers, by the way, weren't really constricted by the oft-quoted "form follows function" concept. They used functionally superfluous mouldings and turnings, for example. It's more precise to say that they sought beauty in simplicity, or in a word they would have disliked, elegance.
Rubbed painted pine case, curly maple top and panels.
