This project was one of my first projects. It was a challenge for me at my skill level because of the number of long mortises. I chose yellow pine because it was available. If I build another, I’ll try it with cherry. I ended up staining with dark cherry gel stain. My wife thinks it look good and I guess that is all that matters.

It looks great Rick. If you can, add a picture of it stained, so we can see how it looks.

With this project your skill level has been moved up a few noches, and your wife sounds like she has good taste.

Nice job! My wife hasn’t liked any of my pieces…nice to get past that hurdle on your first project!

Awesome grain patterns on the drawers. Very neat.

Excellent craftsmanship. Could you talk about how you constructed the drawers? What did you use for guides?

The drawers used traditional locking joints in the front. For guides, I used one hardwood T-shaped slide located in the bottom center of the drawer, I think I got them from Rockler. They worked pretty well, I waxed them to make them operate smoothly. I learned a lot from the construction.
