I built these two dressers last Summer. I didn't post any pictures at the time because most folks here seem to favor more traditional designs, but I finally decided what the heck.

The sides and drawer fronts are solid rift sawn white oak, the tops are veneered from shop sawn veneer, then edged with solid wood. Maple drawer internals. I brass brushed the oak after sanding to clean out and deepen the pores. The finish was a custom mix of SW's BAC Wiping Stain plus Transtint dye pre-diluted in acetone so it would mix into the stain. No other stain/dye that I've used gives such a dark effect in one application. The topcoat was Sealcoat shellac followed by GF's Enduro Clear Poly in satin sheen, to which I added about 5% baby powder to further cut the sheen.
These things are pretty massive, and heavy. The low one is about 36" H by 60+ inches long; the tall one is about 70" high. They were so heavy I removed all the Blum undermount drawer slides and reinstalled them after getting them into the clients home.
