Just finished up this dresser to match the crib I completed a month or so ago for my son (due mid-February). I want to extend a Thank You to LJ-mattd for e-mailing me the rough dimensions of his cherry and maple dresser. The wife and I really liked the proportions of his dresser, and borrowed his dimensions for this build. Nothing too fancy here, birch frame with maple drawer fronts. Top is birch plywood from Home Depot that is trimmed in maple. I finished it with dewaxed shellac tinted with medium brown transtint. I think I will shoot on another two coats to finish the top for a total 5. Everything else got 3 coats with a 0000 steel wool buff.
Later…..joe

Nice dresser. The drawer pulls add a nice touch. Just keep the crayons away from the little feller.

That’s a great looking piece Joe. I really love the finish. Do you mind passing on the rough dimensions?

Joe – Great job and just in time for the new guy! I especially like the curve on the posts/legs. The drawers, top and side panels look great. I guarantee that you and your kids will enjoy these pieces for many many years. Marking this as a favorite!
