Here's my latest project. It's a trash can cabinet based on a version that my mother bought at an Amish market when I was a kid. This is actually the fourth that I have built, and with each one it gets a little bit better.

This one is made of solid 8.5" pine boards edge-glued to give me the dimensions that I needed. I would have loved to use a harder wood like oak or cherry, but that was cost prohibitive. I usually don't stain my projects, but I wanted this to be a bit darker so it would match my best-friend's kitchen a bit better. I topped it off with five coats of a semi-gloss polyurethane so that it could be cleaned without too much trouble.
