Are indeed drawers...

Center drawer is curved inside and out...

Even these had a bit of curve inside...

Might need more than a single molding plane to do the fronts?
Top was a book-matched, two piece that was sitting on the moldings.
Anyone want to try to build one?

Sooo.....who is going to try and build a copy of that piece of furniture? I am busy with a small project, right now..and don't have enough lumber to start it....I CAN get measurements IF anyone wants them, though. Just 6 drawers.....

[Pat Barry]

Derek just completed a nicer and bigger one.

[David Myers]

Yeah, the real question is when was Derek in that Dairy Queen?

[steven c newman]

Methinks this one was made long before Cohen came along....The Owners of this DQ also collect antique furniture..

So...IF someone were to try to make that style of drawer front.....what cutters would do the profile...on a curved piece like that? The other, lower drawers would be the easy part....it is those skinny top three drawers. And, they were at one time dovetailed at the fronts.

[Peter Christensen]

I think that would have been done on a shaper. It could be done with hollows and rounds after taking the corner off with a bandsaw if you want to do it by hand.

[Peter Rawlings]

Even @ $50, You mighta made $50 with a little hassle. I know someone who's done it several times.

I would guess hollows and rounds, but maybe a moulding plane after a bit of wasting out. As long as the curve is convex like that, it shouldn't be too hard with a couple of practice pieces.

First...one would NEED to have that $50 in their pocket....I had about 36 cents. No place to sit it....just leave it there.

May be a bit too wide for the scratch stock....
