 Now, I know what y'all are thinking...it sounds like it ought to be one of the cooking shows on the Food Network but it really is a pantry, a pantry cabinet.
It was delivered to the shop but sat on the west workbench for a couple days until I got around to looking it over and my first words were, "Holy moly, this thing might have came across the country by covered wagon but it damn sure wasn't riding in the back of it, it was being dragged behind it the whole way!"
It was all beat up; parts and pieces missing, hunks taken out of various places and water damage to name a few of its ailments.  However, the worst atrocity it had endured over its years was receiving a most tenacious coat of paint.  This stuff was unlike any I have ever stripped.  But, I eventually won the battle and I know one thing for sure, whoever made it had to have been breaking some kind of law. 
Sections had to be cut away and removed then the replacement parts were milled, failed glue joints addresses and new paint applied where she wanted it.  The other sections were pickle stained and three coats of a satin lacquer sprayed on.  I made an executive decision and pickle stained portions immediately behind the door section so that the painted cubby hole part would jump out at you.
Underneath the hideous paint was gorgeous white oak and flame white oak making up the tambour door and the upper cornice.
That is all.
