Cherry dresser and night stands nearing completion

Share This Post

The solid cherry dresser and night stands are finally nearing completion.

Next week I will add the 22 drawer fronts
The drawers are all made with dovetailed solid maple with 1/2′ maple plywood bottoms

With the drawers now constructed and fitted all that remains to be done is to add the drawer fronts and hardware, a final sanding, the finish, and then the copper handles. The drawers are made from maple with 1/2″ maple plywood bottoms and dovetailed corners. I shutter to think what this all weighs in at, but I am sure to get a sense of it when the time comes to load it onto the trailer.

Because I could not locate any veneer core plywood the backs of the nightstands are ship lapped cherry while the dresser will receive veneer core maple plywood..
