Stunning. A beautifully crafted small case and drawers.

Looks fantastic. I having been thinking about a similar project-I have some book matched figured walnut that is screaming draw fronts. What type of joinery did you do for the drawers?

Great looking chest of drawers, and I love the drawer fronts. The Ambrosia maple grain pattern is stunning. Great job on the drawers and casework.

Thanks for the feedback, everyone.

I’d love to say that the drawers were all done with hand cut dovetails but… I opted to go with simple and reliable rabbited drawer joinery for these small drawers. Since I couldn’t remake a botched drawer front and keep things aligned should I have messed up the half-blinds, I decided to take a safer route for this project. Something to try next time!

I should mention that the drawer fronts are solid wood, not applied veneer. I gave some thought to embellishing them with an applied bead, etc. but felt that the ambrosia pattern contrasted with the black knobs was busy enough.
