hi, I’ve been on this one for a while .I have to say i learned a lot making this piece.So , its made from curly walnut (top , legs and main frame)and wormy maple (sides ,handles and main drawer frame) , curly maple (fronts).The top is a herringbone pattern solid inlay.I used a mortise and tenon design and dovetailed the tops of the legs from the inside.Finished with 2 laquer base coat and 3 water poly top coat. If I knew how to show more pics i would, thanks for looking. This site is such a inspiration!!

That is some beautiful wood, and a great choice of color combination in the design.

Awesome piece. Good for you; going the extra mile on the frame & panel back really defines a superior piece from run of the mill (in my opinion). Great work, nice craftsmanship, and congratulations on just getting it finished…

The wood grains are artfully thought out. The only problem I see Is it is going to be hard to beat with your next project. Good luck with that and thanks for the post.
