Dresser-top valet, made of American Elm. Genuine leather-lined top and drawer bottom. Finish was two coats of Deft Natural Danish Oil, followed by three coats of wiped-on Arm-R-Seal.
Had this all glued, assembled and partially finished before my table saw accident, thankfully. One-handed the remainder of the finishing and some sanding.
Nice, fun project – gave it to my grandson. Plans are available at the Wood Store.

Fine looking piece, Jim. The leather really finishes it off nicely.

good job on the piece. I’m sure it was fun getting back in the shop after the accident.
