The two outside drawers on this drawer unit are curved and pivot when opened, as opposed to pulling straight out.  The front of the drawers are formed from a single bent lamination with a 36″ radius.  The inner drawer sides (left side of the drawerin the photo) is also a bent lamination with a 12″ radius.  

The main wood in this project is Lyptus.  The drawer sides are made from some curly maple that I discover in a batch of 1/2″ maple sold as common drawer stock (for $3 bf).  The handles are made from brass and Walnut.

I did not know what I was getting into when I decided to use dovetails on curved drawers, not realizing that the curved parts would not fit into my dovetail machine.  Instead, I had to make several custom templates to route the pins and tails. I explain more about this issue in this video blog:
