Very, very nice. The wood selection is very nice. Tell us more about dimensions and finishes.

Another beautiful job Mike. I like the contrating woods and the carving adds a nice look.
Thanks for sharing!

Thanks a lot Lee I really appreciate your feedback.
Chest is approximately 26 inches tall by 16 inches wide, by 11 inches deep. Primary wood is American black walnut. Drawer fronts are shaped out of Basswood and main Veneers walnut burl with Elm burl trim and curly maple cock beading.
Finishing is my least favorite part of Woodworking – for me only seems like an opportunity To screw up otherwise good work. This is my go to: Watco oil/varnish sanded wet with 600 grit and then French polish shellac with paste wax.
Thanks for looking!
