Twin Bonnet Tops

By rogerlandry, member Apr 16, 2011

As a woodworking hobbyist in my spare time, I had always wanted to make the highboys in FWW issue #117 from 1996. With the work and detail involved, I figured it would be just as frustrating if I made 2 at the same time instead of just 1. I could not obtain or afford the highly figured curly Cherry but good quality Cherry looks great anywhere. These were a real joy to build.

Like all my projects, these highboys were made for my wife and she is very much enjoying them now that they are finally in our home,
I wish I would have tracked the hours, Making 2 at the same time, in my spare time and on weekends took about six months.

Thanks for commenting,
