I came on a piece of heart pine from a renovation of an old building. It was about 6" x 6" and nearly five feet long. It looked like it wanted to be the frame for a chest of drawers. I didn't take any pictures until the legs and stretchers were milled and joined. The milling was by machine but the joinery is by hand mostly.

Here is a leg with the mortises and grooves cut.

The panels are glue ups of wood rescued from a demolition job. It looks like Home Depot pine. The side stretchers are heart pine from the same piece as the legs.

Here is a side coming together with drawer runners mortised into the legs. The runners are hard maple.

Here are the back stretchers. These are made from the same wood as the panels since I didn't have enough of the old pine.

The back panel is some type of cedar (I think). It was T&G paneling in an apartment I gutted. It straight grained, knot free and very soft. It also splits easily but it should make a fine back. I planed off the tongues and grooves and glued up a single wide panel.

Here it is with the sides and the back assembled. This is just a dry fit. Now on to make the top.
