When I saw the wonderful boxes Miles125 made as Christmas gifts that were contructed of walnut and heart pine, I knew I had to give that combination a whirl. So, here’s what I came up with. I think the walnut and pine compliment each other wonderfully. This is a slight variation on the shaker shelf theme as most of these hanging types of shaker shelves don’t have drawers. I haven’t picked a spot for this yet, which is why it’s not hanging. The little drawers have through dovetails and the shelves are attached with sliding dovetails. The finish is wipe on satin poly.

This is a very nice piece. I like your use of dovetails on the piece.

Carl. A very nice job. The dovetails look great. Who says you need half-blind dovetails on drawers.

Nice job; I really like that combo as well. That heart pine has such pronounced quartersawn grain. I friggin’ love it.
Where did you get your heart pine? Locally, ordered, etc…?

Thanks again for the kind comments. Jarrod: That heart pine actually came from from my Great Grandad’s store that we tore down in the late 60’s. I’ve got a pretty good pile of it down in our barn. I love it too!!
