Of course " all comments welcome"!.... You make GOOD stuff! Be sure to date it and inscribe it to her.
Wow...that's lovely!
Man that looks nice lovely color.And just the right amount of flame.

Heirloom piece right there. As Mel said, be sure to sign and date it. You could even write her a letter and talk about how you thought of her while you were making it and your hopes for her future. Then tape it to the underside of one of the drawers and maybe she'll find it in 10-20 years.
Beautiful piece!
And I thought the same thing as Aaron about hiding a note for her to find in the future.
What a gorgeous piece! What's not to love about Tiger Maple, right? Great color too. Would you mind sharing your finishing regimen for it?
I'm not inlove with the pulls, but that's a nice looking piece!
Very nice, I'm sure it will be a hit with the granddaughter
Michael, that's a beautiful dresser, striking. The feet are just magnificent. Congratulations on a fine piece.
stunning dresser/ WOW!
Thank you for all the comments. I like the idea of leaving her a note, never thought of that. She lives with me and had a hand in helping build it by running stock through the planer and doing some sanding too. The finishing was done with a water based dye( Lockwood 141) Two coats of shellac then shot with crystal lac waxed and buffed out

Very Nice! Was this piece from plans or a copy of an existing chest of drawers?

Beautiful wood, great craftsmanship, and a wonderful piece of Fine Furniture.
Thank you. It's actually a plan that I drew up using different pieces for inspiration and it took me a while to do it. I fiddled with the drawer sizes and dimensions of the case to get what I thought looked good. If you have any questions, I'll try to answer you as best I can.
