Project Information
This dresser is based closely on measured drawings from Robert Lang and Glenn Huey's book Furniture in the Southern Style. The original is in walnut, I think, and has keyholes, and inlays around the keyholes. This one doesn't. It's a pretty massive piece: 56" high by 42" wide.
The wood came from Iola Lumber up the road a ways, where prices are fair and the proprietors are patient and knowledgeable. Unsolicited plug!
The drawer dovetails were done with a smaller Leigh jig, and the case dovetails were done with a jig made with the Stots Dovetail Master, which I think is now sold under the Milescraft brand.
The finish is General Finishes Top Coat wipe-on.
I like a little sapwood in cherry and walnut … call me crazy.
Thanks for looking. I'm overall pretty pleased with how it came out.
