This piece is very similar to the Lowboy. The one piece, 10” wide sides are glued long grain to long grain to the legs, with biscuits. The drawer dividers are dovetailed to the front leg posts. The drawers are rabbeted half blind, and through dovetail contruction. The top is bookmatched. The secondary wood is Aspen, from Lowe’s. The plywood drawer bottoms are also Aspen. This wood is becoming my favorite for drawers, due to the fact that the plywood matches the sides, and are very inexpensive. I made this for my girlfriend for Christmas. This is also my first project using gel stain.

Are those legs one tall piece of wood? What did you start with 12/4?

Nice job.

Thanks once again. I have to admit that I don’t carve the legs. I either use Table Legs.com, or Adams Wood Products. I am a diabetic, and I’m allergic to my meds. When it gets hot, I break out in a very painful, itchy rash on my face. This is why I only work in the cooler months. I want to learn how to build them, but since I have a limited amount of time to build, I can’t spend, perhaps 2 weekends just on the legs. I have a template for a Highboy leg that I was going to try this year. I called our local lumberyard today to price 12/4, and 16/4 stock. I was shocked to discover that I could buy these legs cheaper than the lumber!! Yikes!!
Pashley, first let me tell you I love your owl! We have one that lives in our garage in the winter! My girlfriend doesn’t have that much lingerie, but she has a body for it!!! How about the comtrast of the cherry, and the aspen on the drawers? I really like that!

Thanks for the post.
