    Gorgeous Mark! How did you form the drawer fronts?

    Excellent work Mark.
    I like the figure on the drawer fronts it gives them a unexpected texture.
    Super nice

    Great piece beautifully done. I remember those Wintertur feet but can't remember who posted them. They are a little
    busy for such a small space but I do understand that's an indulgence of the owner who will be seeing it close up and often.
    While I will have to google it.

    Thanks for all the positive feedback! Paul, the drawer fronts are bent laminations of 1/8 inch pine with cherry veneer.

    Outstanding Mark. What a wealth of details, all beautifully done. Are the drawers beaded on the edges? And I like the way the top flows out over the corner posts. Nice.

    Jeez, Mark, raising the bar again! Beautiful piece of fine furniture. I know that will be enjoyed for a very long time. I love cherry, by the way, nice choice.
