This thirteen drawer chest is made out of some thirty year old walnut from the clients family farm. All the drawers are walnut and dovetailed with blumotion soft close undermount slides. All surfaces are handplaned and scrapped. The chest was then bleached and dye stained and glazed to get an aged look.
Thanks for having a look!

Great work and excellent result.
Can you estimate (if no log book) man/hrs. spent for the construction only (excluding designing & finishing)?
I thing it involved alot of work. You did it and you did excellently!
Thanks for sharing.

Very attractive. It’s hard to imagine some one moving this out from the wall to clean or recover something that’s fallen behind. Just the hardware alone would be a load.

This is a gorgeous piece, Les. It is nicely antiqued as well which gives the piece a lot of character.
