Japanese-Inspired Cabinet

Quiet design details and solid wood construction create a welcome storage piece for almost any room. Plus, this plan offers various woodworking techniques.

Create a beautifully crafted Japanese-inspired cabinet that combines elegant design with functional storage. Featuring solid wood construction and stunning design details, this cabinet is perfect for any room, adding both beauty and practicality to your home.

The design balances traditional craftsmanship with modern simplicity, as seen in the frame-and-panel doors and gently curved base. The rattan inlay on the door adds a unique, exotic flair, while the flush hardwood panel creates a clean, graphic look. This thoughtful combination of design elements—like the white oak frame and walnut feet—gives the cabinet a refined, timeless appearance.

Beyond the beauty, this project provides a rich woodworking experience, from dovetail joinery at the bench to turning, routing, and mortising for precise details. You’ll also learn how to work with rattan, creating stunning decorative panels that add texture and interest. The combination of table saw, lathe, and drill press skills ensures you'll be mastering a variety of techniques throughout the build.

Perfect for intermediate to advanced woodworkers, this Japanese-inspired storage cabinet will not only elevate your space but also help you refine your skills as a craftsman.
