Or, as I saw in a local classified ad once, Chip and Dale Chester Drawers
This is school project from a design by Glen Huey who, at one time, taught my current instructor in the same cabinetry program in which I’m enrolled.
Primary wood is cherry, secondary wood is poplar. All fasteners used, mostly in the ship-lapped back boards, are reproduction cut nails which are a bugger to drive.
The finish is three coats of a home-made oil/varnish blend top coated with three coats of sprayed-on polyacrilic. My first attempt at spraying a finish, and with a “Critter” sprayer and a pancake compressor, and I’m really pleased with the results.

Great project. I like the way the case dovetails can be seen on the top.

I’m sure the cartoon chipmunks would be politely proud, too.

Since apparently you named this piece after me, I think it’s great Allen. ;-)
Seriously, that is some terrific craftsmanship and thanks for letting us see it.

Beautiful chest Allen. The cherry looks great, and I really like the feet on the chest. I want to try those feet one day on a chest. Great build.

Beautiful chest of drawers or chester’s drawers. Love the color and feet. I’ve found cherry one of the toughest woods to stain evenly. You did an exquisite job.
