extraordinary Derek - a really beautiful piece. And the pulls, placed below center, look absolutely right. Well done.

How did you decide where to place the drawer pulls? (with a lower-half placement vs. centered vs. high?)

Matt

Matt, as with most design elements, one begins with the traditional .. in this case, pulls positioned centrally. It occured to me that this drew the eye to the pulls, and they looked intrusive. I positioned them lower, and this altered their “feel”. With the lower positioning, my thought was that this way the look is interesting but harmonious. Your thoughts?

Nice work. What type of tree is jarrah? Like what plant family. I’m always interested in different woods than the general US domestic. I’m in Hawaii, so local grown variety is all
over the place.

Hi Zac

Jarrah is a Eucalyptus, and only grows in Western Australia.

It is extremely hard wearing - was used for building piers, railway sleepers and even paving roads in London.
