    Cherry chest of drawers finished (pic)

    This chest measures 36 inch wide, 58 inch tall and 21 inches deep.
    It's made of solid cherry througth out including the drawer boxes, the only non-cherry is the 1/4 plywood back.

    The main box and drawers are dovetailed (Leigh Jig). The trim on the top of the carcase is a sliding dovetail to
    handel wood movement. The drawer divders are also dovetailed into the side of the case.

    The bracket feet are made from plans found in "WoodSmith" magazine. The finish, sanded to 180 grit with one coat of shellac and 3 coats of Fuhr's 375 pre-cat laquer.

    That is a great design! Excellent work all around. I've got a dresser in my future and I suspect it's going to a look a lot like yours. Thanks!

    Beautiful!!!
    I am a newbie to woodworking. Hopefully, someday I will be able to make something as nice as that.
    I love cherry wood. It is a great looking wood.
    Enjoy,

    Now it looks awesome. A in a few years when the wood stars taking the clasic tint it will look even better.
    What are the handles made of?
    Congrats
