Eight Drawer Chest
72” wide - 22” deep - 42” tall

This chest is made from
California Walnut and quilted Western Maple. The walnut frame is
assembled with mortise and tenon and through dovetail joints. The
end panels float within the frames. The veneer on the top, panels
and drawer fronts was bandsawn in the shop and then sanded to
l/8” thickness before it was laid up.
The drawers have White Oak
sides and aromatic cedar bottoms. They are dovetailed front and
back and are guided by hardwood runners on the top, bottom and
both sides.
The finish is three coats of
polyurethane varnish, sanded and then hand rubbed to a soft
luster with 0000 steel wool.
