cherry

Great looking chest.
I think I will borrow some of your design ideas for a sideboard I’m designing for my daughter. I like the arch in the top rails and the idea of wood handles.

That a lot of chest with great architectural design. I bet you were in no hurry to take it to it final destination. It a beautiful piece that should age nicely, nice work…Blkcherry

Beautiful. I too am in the middle of a project for my youngest daughter – an armoire of cherry. I know the pains and the satisfaction that goes into a beautiful piece like this that will become a great family heirloom. Great job!
Question – How did you finish it, and did you do anything different to the inside of the drawers vs the rest of the cabinet?

-- Don, Saginaw Mi

Beautiful work. Not a lot more can be said other than nice tight joints, terrific finish and lovely design.

-- I am governed by an attitude of curiosity.

That’s a great looking chest. Love your design. I like your last picture the best, really shows the piece and I like all your helpers.

Now this is a beautiful chest. The arched panels and rails complimented by the matching door pulls add interesting details to the cabinet. Cherry is my personal favorite and this piece is outstanding. I am sure your daughter enjoys it.

Any plans for matching pieces to finish out the set?

How did you finish this piece?

-- With God's help all things are possible- even woodworking. Woodworking is not just a hobby, it is an (expletive deleted) expensive hobby.

Beautiful chest. The drawer pulls and door handles look good also.

-- If all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail!

Yeah, I see you have built beautiful projects for your daughter, sister, and wife. Keeping all of the ladies happy… well done. Heirloom pieces from the get go… well done.

thanks the finish is linseed oil top with garnet shellac, lacquer and wax.

-- All about wood..

Nicely Done. Great lines with the arched frame and drawers.

-- Keith, Bolingbrook, Illinois. How did you do that? I just started with a bunch of wood and cut away anything that's not part of the finished piece...

Thats a beautiful chest.
