This is my first real furniture project, besides trim carpentry around my house. It is a big dresser that mainly employs biscuit joinery. It is made of birch plywood and stained mahogany for a two-toned look. I also gained experience using a PC dovetail jig for the drawers. Face frame is maple and secondary woods inside (not shown) are poplar for the web frames and maple for the drawer runners. Finish is gel stain on the mahogany and satin poly.

This is a great looking project. I really like the accent wood around the drawer. Well done!

Very nice looking project. The use of maple wood and birch ply combination makes it much nicer.
Thanks for sahring.
