Dresser / hutch in English oak

That’s really a wonderful piece, Stewart. To think it came from that pile of boards on the trailer!

By that way….that is a real shop you’ve got there…. not one of these pristine 3,000 sq. ft. warehouses some of these fellows around here try to pass off as a woodshop! :-)

It always amazes me how some piles of rough wood can turn into something beautiful. I’m sure your step daughter was very pleased with the final results. I like how you used the burl wood for the raised panels and the quartersawn for everything else.

You do look quite cramped in your workshop. Could you walk around the workpiece while it was under assembly?

Thanks Charlie. A couple more square yards wouldn’t go amiss though!

That is a beautiful Job. There is no better feeling than taking a crude pile of wood without form. And to create a beautiful and useful hutch, that will last for many years to come. wonderful job. Looks as tho that may become a family heirloom

-- Saved, and so grateful, consider who Created it ALL!!!

I agree with the other guys, you did a beautiful job Stewart

Stewart, that piece is most excellent, almost heinous!
Some beautiful quarter cut pieces there. Congarts, you should be very proud.

Wow, very cool. I love the tree shot, and I’m amazed how small your shop is!

Actually reading the workshop description I see it’s 9×20. Definitely tight, and about the same size as the shop I started off in. Now I have a huge 14×18’ shop to play in :)

Very nice Mr. Stewart, lovely wood and great job of putting it all together.I would bet you made that very nice Windsor Chair setting next to the hutch, heh, Mr. Stewart. mike

That is a beautiful piece of furniture.

I really like the pattern on the lower doors. I’m also amazed at your ability to get that together in your shop. You appear to have made use of every inch.

What did your stepdaughter say when she saw that rough boards = beauty? :)
