I just finished my first piece of the bedroom series I designed and had to post a little gloat. It's also what I consider to be my very first furniture piece. Feels really good to have it done! It was a hybrid approach, with dovetails on all the drawers being hand cut. I did solid wood drawer bottoms leaving room for wood movement. Attached the top with shrinkage buttons, and made the center mount drawer runners from quartersawn white oak.
