Mahogany Armoire
Woodworker:
John G. Eugster

When designing this Shaker-inspired armoire, Eugster wanted to avoid a large, monolithic appearance. It was a complicated build, with lots of hand-cut dovetails, mortise-and-tenons, frame-and-panels, and drawers (complete with wooden runners). “I have the reputation of being the hand-tool guy, and this piece is no exception.” Eugster documented the build on his blog at woodworksbyjohn.com.

I love this armoire. Wish I had a place to put it because I want to build it.
Well done. Great design.
Thanks, I just renewed my subscription so didn't see your comment. It's a wonderful piece except getting up and down a spiral staircase was a real challenge. The design was one that "fermented" in my mind over a period of at least a year, many sketches while my students were doing desk work, really wanted something other than a monolith.
