Here are some pics of the dresser that I have built for my son. Of course, LOML wanted this done before our daughter was born so that we could move my son's furniture in to her room. I am only 14 weeks late. :D
The dresser has a solid cherry top and solid cherry drawer faces. The dust frames are cherry on the outside and plywood on the inside. The panels on the side are 1/4" cherry plywood that I laminated to mdf, and the drawer boxes are maple. Thanks to Tom at Lumber Logs for the beautiful wood. If you live anywhere near the 'Lou, I highly recommend you check out his selection. My only complaint about the project is that I don't currently have the ability to resaw (a bandsaw is my next purchase) and planing Tom's 4/4 (which is really like 5/4) down to size took a whole Saturday and Sunday.
The finish will be the General Finish products that David Marks uses.
Some of the drawer faces are lighter due to my inability to measure correctly on the original pieces. If anyone could relate their experience in darkening cherry in the sun, that would be helpful.
Please comment, but remember this is just my third furniture project (after lots of shop projects).
I apologize for the quality of the pics...a photog I am not.
