Great Project - yields a nice piece of furniture
I built a slightly modified replica of this piece back when Carlyle was still alive but in his later years. Where the bottom two panels of the top doors are, I removed them to create an open space (putting a finished top on the bottom piece). I then set the top piece depth back by a couple inches to make a kitchen or family room 'hutch'. All the rest was constructed exactly to Carlyle's drawings and plans.
It is not a 'beginners' skill project but with moderate to advanced skills this will yield several nice woodworking challenges for you to adapt some of its construction to modern tool machinery use, yet it will still require some hand tool use for the traditionalist. I built two of these actually, one of pine as a prototype to evaluate the minor adaptations I made, followed with one of red-oak dyed with golden-oak aniline dye). Now in my old age, these are the two most coveted pieces I've built. The pine resides at my summer home, the oak at my residence. -

really interesting piece, made that much more unique with the arched raised panel doors. For an older home great storage, and just a handsome design. The drawings are beautifully done.
