    Robert,


    Beautifully done! Your execution of drawer fit/finish, curved bonnet, carved rosettes and the beautifully profiled feet are all awesome! I'm particularly impressed this is one of your first efforts with these skills.


    Thanks for posting. Look forward to seeing more of your work.


    All the best, Mike

    Excellent job! I really like the clean look to the inside with the tight curly maple drawer fronts all so similar in figure.
    Again very nice.

    Thanks Jerry. Yes it has two secret compartments. The secret compartments make the building process more fun for me. Now I want to learn some more intricate mechanisms to make them even more fun.

    The drawer fronts were resawed from a 12/4 piece of quartersawn piece of Tiger Maple I got so the figure would match.
