I have been woodworking for the last few years, as a hobby, and have recently started getting really into it. Finished this Chest of Drawers up in May for my 5 year old daughter. Solid Walnut and Cherry with Cherry ply panels. Reinforced dovetail rabbet drawers are Cherry and poplar. Made all of the pulls myself, and came up with these after many prototypes. The finish is General Finishes Enduro-Var semi-gloss, sprayed with a FujiSpray mini-mite.

I like the design especially the curve on the frame. That is what sets it apart from the usual chest of drawers, and excellent choice of wood.

Thanks all for the kind words. I cannot take credit for the design alone. This chest of drawers is based off plans from TWW. I am still working on designing larger items like this and mastering SketchUp.
Thanks!

Great display of craftsmanship. Well done on all fronts: design selection, wood selection, craftsmanship, and finishing.
