The chairs were well received so I figured I would post another:
This is a Philadelphia Dressing table, modeled after an existing high chest in the Chipstone collection. I took some other lowboys and scaled my dimensions proportionally from there. I built this one in 2006, with the goal of building something to practice my carving skills.
Dimensions: 31 1/4” high, by 21” deep, by 35” wide.
Materials: Mahogany and white pine as secondary, Hardware from Ball and Ball
Finish: Water based aniline dye and shellac
It was a fun project, that took quite a bit of time and effort, but was definitely worth it.
Thanks for checking it out, Cal
