Mahogany and Madrone Chest of Drawers

By FWW_Gallery, member Oct 24, 2012

Woodworker: Steve OrtonOrton made this chest of drawers (18 in. deep by 24 in. wide by 66 in. tall) for his sister-in-law. At first she wanted a traditional Shaker-style chest, but then they decided to include more detail. Orton added madrone-veneered drawer fronts with cock beading, bracket feet, and more contemporary knobs. The rest of the chest is African and Honduran mahogany with birch drawer sides and bottoms. The finish is amber dye, gel stain, water-based polyurethane, and dark wax. From Fine Woodworking #206
