I didn't really keep track but I estimate around 67 BF (not counting waste).

Richard, that dresser looks great - excellent design and craftsmanship. It looks like you put a lot of effort into making it. I'd love to see some of the dovetail details.

I have added some more photos to my original post.

one of the best I have seen.

[Charles Jackson III]

Very nice work Richard.

[John Timberlake]

Nice job. Love the finish you put on. Beautifully executed.

Richard,
That is one of the most beautiful dressers I have ever seen. A few questions if I may:
Why did you choose to use full extensions on the drawers as opposed to the wooden runners?
How did you raise the drawer fronts? On the TS or used a raised panel bit?
How thick are the drawer fronts?

[Gail O'Rourke]

This is a gorgeous piece, nice work.

[Matt Meiser]

Good work--very elegant.

Yes I use the shaper and raised panel cutter. Metal slides (I knew someone would ask this question) purely functionally and ease of construction, I guess I'm a little lazy. I often think to myself, if theses slides were available 100 years ago the would have use them.

[Brett Baldwin]

Great looking piece Richard. You're probably right that the slides would have been used if they had been around.

[Eugene A. Manzo III]

Very Very Nice Work Did anyone ask you the hours you have in this project yet ? I hate wooden runners for drawers you made the right choice I think to put slides in. I dont think they put tubes in radios or tires anymore either

I think this chest of drawers is beautiful.

Unfortunately, I can't seem to download the entire thread and I can't see all the pics. Is the file size too big here?

This is great work. Cherry is my favorite.

Richard,

Nice job on the chest, I also like your shop. It looks mighty big. The floor coating that is on the floor is that acid stained or acid etched???? The floor looks interesting to me. Sorry to sway off the subject but I do a bit of concrete and found the floor interesting. Or is it just good old concrete that is aged well.

Thanks
Ben
