Looks very nice, are they handcut dovetails (pins look nice and thin)? What finish did you use?

yes they are hand cut donetails,I sold my leigh jig so I would not be lazy and use it.I love doing hand work it just a nice time in the shop to cut all the tools off and open up the hand tool cabinet.the finnish is as follows
one coat lenseed oil,4 coats of 1/3 poly 1/3 lenseed 1/3 tung oil mixed.then 1coat of 2/3 poly 1/3 thinner then rub it out with 4o steel whol and a coat of wax.it takes about 4 days to do(only because of drying time)
thanks all of you

Beautiful piece and gorgeous wood. Those dovetails look awesome too!

What joinery methods did you use on everything else? (Dowels / mortise & tenon / biscuits, etc.)

Nice walnut is an understatement. Even the back panel is bitchin’. And then there is the joinery and the configuration and the finish. Excellent piece!
