Jewelry Chest on Stand - Progress Pics and Input Requested

[George Summers]

, I'd like to tackle something like this. I like working from plans. Is there a plan for this chest or did you both plan and draw them yourselves?

Bring back pictures!

Mike -

Woodsmith Issue 106. The hardware per the plan is all available from Rockler (no longer available as a package deal from Woodsmith). The total bill for hardware alone when I built mine was right at $100.

Hello, Alan's brother.

Bonewood.

I can't believe Cory made that!

Outstanding!

Have you seen those red t-shirts he had made

Have you considered having less drawers and hanging necklaces or braclets.
Handcutting through DT and applying veneer is the easiest and better grain matching. The downside as stated above is the mismatch of colors on the top of the drawer front. If the thin veneers are special and better way to get the best grain pattern you could do through dovetails 1/2" scrap walnut on the fronts and then glue on the special veneer front.
Have you considered a hidden compartment? Are you planning carved drawer pulls?, drawer liners?

Have you considered a hidden compartment?

Of course. Can't see it from these pictures, but there is a false bottom that extends down into the apron about 3 inches deep. I plan some type of removable panel under the bottom drawer to access it.

I haven't determined drawer pulls yet, I am leaning towards something in sterling as that is my wife's primary choice in jewelry, but I'll have to play with it a little to see if that color combination works. I plan to line the drawers with suede.

Wow! That's nice work. No way could I give any advice.

Have you seen those red t-shirts he had made

No. Tell me about it so I can give him a hard time next time I see him.

I'd post a pic, but the word a** appears in it, and my sense is that that would be anathema to the powers that be

words of perversion...
so profound and disgusting...
that decorum prohibits listing them here.
