First of all this is the unfinished version. I’ve let this rest in a room in my house. I’m not happy with the third drawer from the top. The color of the cherry doesn’t match. Also the convex shells need to be made a little thinnner. That is no problem. A couple of passes thru the planner and a little more carving. I’m hoping to finish this when the weather in Florida cools off. Then I have to make another one for my second grandson. The second one will be out of mahogany. That will be much easier to carve. I’ll be posting a photo essay on that on this site. You might enjoy my mistakes. I have a lot of other past projects to post in the future and when I get to ten I can reply to emails. I think? The replies about the Highboy were great. It’s solid wood, not veneers. Hey I’m not the best wood worker in the world or the fastest. I see some great things on this site. In the mean time I’m working on a pie crust table. Lots of carving. That will keep me in the ac for the summer

Yes a great piece and did the colors of the other drawers change or were they a slight different color when you started.

This is an example about getting all of your wood from one log. Great looking job.

Hey Tim
another fine piece a great looking dresser I’m sure you’ll get the finish worked out so all the color conforms.
I’m in the middle of a pie crust now , it is a lot of carving especially for someone who has not done a lot of carving brfore. Look forward to more of your projects.

Hi Tim

I think this piece is incredible! Don’t be so hard on yourself about the different colored drawer front, you can make that up with your staining. Your craftsmanship looks Great!!!
