I tried making Apothecary.
Wood is cedar. Original Design has 3w x 3h Drawer but it was too big. So i’ve changed it to 3w x 2h.
Drawer’s front size is 2”x3”.
but… Cause my cutting miss.. Middle Drawer was a missmatch. so I made middle two drawers as 1 drawer. -..-;;;
outer edge of drawer frame is dovetail joint. Finish is oil stain.
It didnt come out as i planned but it’s not bad.

Block:
I find that most projects that I do come out differently than I planned. Most of the time I am the only one who knows that it should have been done differently. I think the double wide middle drawer adds interest an versatility to the piece. Thanks for posting.

Looks good from here. The sign of a master is the ability to salvage and still come out looking good ;-))

And if you are building for someone else never tell were you messed up until they point it out. My wife is a good pointer outer. Nice job.

If you didn’t tell us the mistakes we would never know.
I think this is a great first project. You covered many basic skills needed in woodworking. This is necessary for learning and growing.
I think that you are off to a good start. The LJ community will be here to help with any of your questions.
I look forward to seeing more projects.
