I have been spending a lot of time in the past day looking up different styles of dressers and amoires and what i was looking for was that it is a very simple but elegant style. I wanted it to be something like the Quaker Spice Box built by Steve Latta in Fine Woodworking #196. I really liked this style so i am planning on basing the style of the dresser and amoire off of the Spice Box. So now the next step is to start drawing and sketching plans. I am also planning on going to some higher end furniture stores to get some ideas on construction techniques. Also which i will show in this blog is i need to build an assembly table for these pieces. It will be built off of David Marks design which is very low to the ground. I like the Wood Whisperer’s design just i don’t have very high ceilings and i need all the room that i can get. Alright so I’ll start drawing up the plans and post them as they start to take shape.

Interesting choice. Are you planning on leaving the swinging door on?
