Walnut dresser Walnut dresser Walnut dresser Click the pictures to enlarge them

I found this plan in an American Woodworker magazine and liked it so much I built it as it was published other than the wood. The magazine used cherry. I had walnut so that’s what I used. I didn’t dovetail the drawers either but I’m am trying to practice on occation. I made the handles from ash. There are many mortise and tenons and I spent a ton of time resawing, gluing, and then planing the panels.

Hi Kansas,

This is a beautiful dresser. Walnut is such as gorgeous wood to work with. The ash handles make a nice contrast with the walnut.

How did you finish the dresser?

Thanks for the post.

By the way the pictures are a little small to see the details.

This dresser is so nice it is ashamed you had to put one side next to the wall. Great job!

Great dresser! I wish the photos were a little bigger so I could enjoy it even more.

What I could see of it looked great.
Bigger pictures would be nice; it deserves to be seen.
