Here is another Blast from the Past. I had 2 desires that came together. One is I wanted to try my hand at Kumiko and the other was Xander had started to collect Funko figures.

Prepping wood for the carcass

Dovetail chopping

Dovetail fitting

Main carcass is together

Installing a shelf and dividers for some small drawers

Installing adjustable shelves (also you can see inlays for some cracks)

Drawers are done

Jump ahead to the door and finish for the cabinet

Starting on the prep for the Kumiko pieces

Practicing a simple end joint (dovetail, of course)

Start of basic framework of Kumiko

Basic frame is done

Upper portion layed out

Now you get a sense

Working on the lower design element

Kumiko is all done. Pretty pleased with the design

Some cool paper as a backing (which I had to replace after a cat accident)

Cabinet installed and loaded
