I finished the dresser I built for my son's room. He was born 5/23/07, so it was almost done on time. :)
The changing table top is removable when he gets older.
White Oak was the primary wood with poplar as a secondary wood. The faceframe was assembled with sliding dovetails.
I built all the drawers from 4/4 stock and dovetailed them front and back with my Leigh D4. The drawer bottoms cabinet back and dust frames are 1/4" baltic birch. The inset drawers slide on wood glides.
I finished with an oil stain and many coats of wipe on satin poly. I rubbed the poly out with 0000 steel wool and applied a coat of wax.
The design was influenced by Stickley's Harvey Ellis 7 drawer dresser and we made our own design to fit his room. The drawers are approx10", 9" and 8" tall from the bottom up. The copper hardware is from Rocklr.
The dresser is 52"Wx34"Hx22"D. I will be building a matching bookshelf when I am less sleep deprived.
