Furniture - Adah
Adah is a wall-hung cabinet built with Swiss pear wood. It has three sliding doors and one hinged one, with a sort of broken palindrome in door layout. The drawer has a dogwood front and features hand-cut dovetails.

Adah, one of The Poisonwood Bible's narrators, is the creator of my favorite palindrome: eroseyesore.
Her name is almost a palindrome, like this cabinet.
Adah, the cabinet, was built at the Krenov School, where first projects at the school must fulfill four requirements: small, simple, solid, and sweet.
Adah has three sliding doors, each removable. The final door swings on handmade brass hinges, plated silver to match the cabinet's sterling silver pulls. The drawer has hand-cut dovetails in dogwood and European maple and is completely removable. The cabinet hangs by a French cleat.
