🛠 Turning Scrap into Storage!
This apothecary cabinet was built entirely from salvaged wood—dumpster finds, leftover shop scraps, and reclaimed pallet wood from my previous pie safe build. The cabinet is painted black, while the drawer fronts are finished with Dark Walnut Danish Oil, giving them a rich, vintage look. Each drawer features two wooden knobs and a metal library label frame, adding both charm and function.
This project is true upcycling at its finest—a mix of pallet wood, shop leftovers, and reclaimed materials, proving that great furniture can come from scraps!
📌 Materials Used:
✔ Cabinet Frame & Drawer Boxes: Salvaged plywood (dumpster finds)
✔ Drawer Fronts: Mixed reclaimed wood, finished with Dark Walnut Danish Oil
✔ Knobs & Label Frames: Small wooden knobs & metal library label holders
✔ Additional Wood: Scrap oak from a neighbor, shop offcuts, and pallet wood left over from my pie safe build
📌 A Huge Shoutout to Epic UpCycling
I recently watched Jason’s latest video over on his channel @EpicUpCycling and once again, he inspired me to build an apothecary cabinet for my shop. I’ve recommended his channel before, but if you haven’t checked him out yet, you’re missing out!
His shop is filled with cabinets built from scraps, and his projects are next-level upcycling at its finest. If you're into turning discarded materials into something extraordinary, I highly recommend checking out his work—he’s doing some top-shelf builds. 🔥
