I finished the hard maple dresser I have been working on for the past few months for my daughter. She was due 2/28, but came early on 2/15/09 (stealth gloat). I almost had the dresser done before she arrived.
The dresser is 52" wide, 36" high, and 22" deep. The changing table top is removable once she out grows the need for it. The 5/4 dresser top is under the changing table.
The primary wood is Hard Maple with poplar as a secondary wood. The drawers are all 3/4" poplar and are dovetailed front and back with half blind dovetails made on my Leigh D4r. All of the drawer fronts are from two wide maple boards and are cut so the grain flows accross each row of drawers.
The dust frames were all assembled with dominoes, the sides and carcass are traditional M+T. The finish is 4 coats of Waterlox. The drawer pulls are stainless steel.
