    Queen Anne HighBoy

    Hello Woodworkers: After 40 years of working in industry and making furniture as a hobby(fueled by economic necessity), I retired and decided to make one last large piece of furniture. The result is a Queen Anne HighBoy, which is a composite of various designs I have collected over the years. It will some day reside in my daughter's home.
    I will have visiting rights if I babysit!

    That's beautiful. What wood is that made of?

    Congratulations on your retirement - enjoy yourself.

    "Unfortunalely" my wife is a Oak fan. It is solid red oak and weighs a ton. Thank God for two piece construction!
