So I dragged another project across the finish line the other day. This one's my take on a Queen Anne highboy made in the Boston area. The originals similar to this all seem to have pad feet. For mine, I prefer ball and claw, so that's what it has.
It's built from mostly curly soft maple. The legs are hard maple because I couldn't find soft maple, figured or not, in anything thicker than 5/4 locally. Secondary wood is poplar.
The finish is dye, oil, several coats of garnet shellac, two final coats of blonde shellac, a little antiquing, and wax.
I'll give those who prefer instant gratification the finished photos are first, so as to spare any uninterested souls the effort of following a build thread in order to see the final results.
As always, I struggle in taking a decent pictures. When viewed from the left side, the drawer faces reflect the light a little differently and appear a little uneven in color. When viewed from the right, they're much more homogeneous.
