Cherry Armoire

Side view of armoire.
This is an armoire I built for my daughter. I started with plans that called for it being made from plywood, and there was no decorative top. I redesigned it so all the joints moved for expansion using solid cherry. It took me 1 1/2 years part time, but the effort was worth it. I sure learned a lot in the process.

Detailed carving and molding on top. All hand made. Copied the carving from a purchased stamped piece, but did all the work with hand tools.

absolutely beautiful!!
Very nice, it looks similar in design to Thomas Chippendale's Clothspress (sic). What finish did you use? What is the secondary wood?
The finish is shellac, then Georgian cherry gel stain, then urethane. The drawers are made of poplar, with just one coat of shellac.
Absolutely exquisite! Thanx for sharing.
This is the one I was searching for
