Walnut frame and panel dresser

That turned out great! I must be a woodworker, because with all the great work here I am most intrigued by those threaded knobs! Your daughter will love and use this for years and years.

And about the threaded knobs – I know! I don’t know what it is about wooden threads, but I just think they’re so cool. I have threading kits in 3 sizes now, and am always looking for ways to incorporate them into my work. My workbench has a 1 1/2” wooden screw for the tail vise, and I’ve made some shaker peg rails with threaded pegs too, which I think is a great solution to those glued in pegs that almost always come loose.

Congratulations on the inbound child and nice work on the dresser.

Thanks! She’s still not here, but it should be any day now.

Thanks paxjen. The beaded drawer slips and irregular dovetails were small details that I thought would really help make the dresser unique. Also the drawer slips are supposed to help with the longevity of the drawers and slides be providing more bearing surface for the drawers to slide on. This thing should last my daughter her entire life if she wants to keep it that long.

Beautiful looking dresser, I love walnut when it comes out like that. I’m sure this will have a long, heirloom life.

Really great project! I’m very impressed with the construction. I’m not quite sure I understand how the hidden drawer fits in, but I can only imagine how excited a child would be to find it!

Makes me want to build a dresser just like this!

This walnut is just gorgeous too! It just glows under the finish I used. I don’t think the pictures quite capture it, actually.

The hidden drawer has that channel in the sides, and I screwed two L-shaped runners under the top that the drawer hangs on.

Beautiful work. It’s going to be one of those pieces that you just look at for long periods because it just calls your eye to it.

Thanks Zonker! I’ve definitely been staring at it a lot. And opening and closing the drawers.
