I take your question to mean that you want to create a plan of the cabinet idea which you then wish to make in wood?

Learning any 3D programme for that is a long slow learning curve and you are better, if any programme at all, to maybe just start with one of the simple 2D programmes --the free versions of Photoshop style programmes.

However, I am a woodworker/woodcarver and I have only ever used pencil sketches on paper. I can not see any advantage in any CG programme for your needs.

ps. If you can not do it on paper, you will have impossible difficulties trying to do it in any CG app I suggest.

You might like to try this free 2D programme as a first learning exercise for drawing.
