    Chest of Drawers - G&G Inspired

    I usually only have one large piece in motion at a time. This is a chest of drawers (for me this time) that is nearing completion. Large projects for others tend to get priority; large projects for me tend to take longer as they get pushed to the side for almost anything. Where's the justice in the world?

    There are some details for the base yet to make. After those, a bit of touch up and it will be time for finishing. The floating side panels were partially pre-finished to avoid and bare-wood-peek-a-boo due to wood movement.

    Very nice! I can't wait to see it finished.

    That's going to look pretty sweet! I think it says something for your project when it's in a style I don't really care for and I still let out a wolf whistle when I see i!

    That's a beautiful piece, Glenn. I've always admired G&G furniture and you captured the design elements perfectly. Well done, Sir.
