I had, some time ago, spread the word through the family that I had retired from making ‘big stuff’. However, my step-son asked so nicely if I’d make a bureau for him to give to his wife for her birthday. After a bit of thought, I decided to have a go. It would, after all, force me to tidy up the workshop ever so slightly in order to make space. It was a massive help that he was able to get the boards thicknessed for me. That saved me a lot of time (and wear and tear) on my machinery.
It measures 36” wide, 44” high and 20” deep. Dave wanted clean modern lines, so I jointed the cabinet corners with lock mitres

Clearly you can do it all, Stewart. The molded-in hand grip areas on the door and the radius that transitions the square outer corners are a very nice touch, as is the grain flow across the doors.
Well done!

I’m not sure how you managed to give this seemingly simple design such an elegant appearance Stewart, but this is an exceptional piece both design-wise and fine workmanship.
