Last time I was told to post more pictures, so here is the maximum allowed. The dimensions are: H, 26; L, 27, D, 18. Drawer fronts are 16.5 inches across. The cases are 100% genuine mahogany. The drawer fronts and top are from a single wide, thick Sepele slab (pic included). I have amuch easier time finding large slabs of sepele than Mahogany and the woods work well together in my opinion. The ebony plugs and splines (over 80 total, I believe) were made using some custom alignment jigs and tips from William Ng (http://wnwoodworkingschool.com/videos/). The carcass was assembled with dominos. The arched drawer pulls were made as described in Darrell Peart's book (In the Greene and Greene Style). I started this project in late January, but had just finished a similar dresser project (http://www.sawmillcreek.org/showthre...esser-for-wife), so more-or-less knew what I was doing. I still need to do a final sanding, attach the top, and apply finish (1 or 2 coats of shellac, followed by several coats of Water lox original).
