Excellent!

Nice wood, nice shape!

The only "issue" I have is that you don't have that wonderful maple covering the entire front.

What manner of drawer slide technique did you use?

Love the curves. Bet it was a challenge. That finish looks awesome, what dye did you use on the maple? Is that a wax finish, satin poly, etc?

That is beautiful. I also love the curves. They give it a very unique and elegant look almost Asian.

Thanks! The curved walnut drawer handles were a late addition just because I wasn't happy with the original approach I was planning.

As to the drawer slide technique, I will add another picture showing the drawer slots. I inset wooden runners inside the walnut walls and the drawer slots ride on them.

There is no stain on this piece. I user Arm-R-Seal semi-gloss oil and urethane finish from General Finishes to pull out the 'natural' contrast of the woods.

Excellent!

A grand slam! Disagree with splintergroup, the contrasting of woods on the front works perfect.
