Connecticut highboy
Nov 05, 2008
In cherry, finished with oil and shellac. Two drawers have fan carvings.
The sides of the lower case are single boards.
The dovetails are hand cut and the piece has 158 dovetails in total. The upper case joints are also dovetailed but these dovetails are hidden by the cornice and waist mouldings.
The design is a composite of plans found in Woodworkers Journal and in Norm Vandal’s book but was largely inspired by the Eldred Wheeler version

Stunning. Are you a furniture maker or is this a hobby?
This is a hobby, always has been and will be. I have no desire to do this for $, takes all the fun out of it.
