I sculpted the front of this chest of drawers to look like beaded water droplets. The face drawers are concave and are from 2” stock Molave (philippine teak) reclaimed planks. The kamagong (ebony) drawer pulls are embedded unto the face drawers and sculpted to fuse with the drawers. The legs are set horizontally and are of Tindalo wood. The top is Narra with solid amboyna burl ends. It’s home is now in Hong Kong.

@ Dennis, That’s one thing I regret. This is the only photo I have of this piece. I finally learned that after all the carpentry, sculpting and finishing is done….... the most important thing is to document your work before it’s sold!!

This is fantastic! You really did a good job blending all the sculpting, it flows very nicely, but without an obvious pattern repeat.

Benji,
This is a beautiful piece, almost unbelievable. I can’t tell if it’s a real piece or maybe a photoshop so, I hope you will pardon my questions but what is causing the reflection below the piece? How can I tell from this picture it is real?
Respectfully,
-- Jim

That is a very nice piece.
May I ask what you used to carve / sculpt the front of the drawers?
Thank you for sharing.
