    I just finished this QUEEN ANNE LOWBOY. It's made from air dried walnut and poplar. The fan drawers are a little off the top and don't really belong on this project. I have never seen a period lowyboy with two fans. They usually have a single central fan or no fan at all. But, I wanted to...

    I'm building a Massachusetts block front chest with the help of Mr. Glen Huey's "Building Period Furniture."
