On this, the day before Valentine's Day, I finished a sheet music cabinet for my wife, Madeline. Madeline has played the flute for over fifty years and I have enjoyed her music for the forty six years that I have known her. My own musical skills are limited to playing CDs and my IPod, but I thought I could contribute my wooodworking interests in support of her talents. I designed and built the cabinet out of walnut. I made all parts - the drawer slides, the pulls and the joinery. It is finished with tung oil/varnish/mineral spirits with a coat of paste wax. I am sure the drawers will be filled with sheet music soon, just as our home has been filled with flute music for so many years. Happy Valentine's Day, Madeline.
