Chest of Drawers for Erica
May 23, 2016
A wedding gift for my daughter Erica and her fiancé Tom.
Some interesting grain in those cherry boards. The sides are made of two pieces, each 10″ wide, from one long, wide board. The bottom three drawer fronts are all from the same board. The smallest drawers are from an adjacent board. The top is book-matched from two adjacent board.
A lot of handplane work on this one. My jointer is not wide enough and my planer made a mess of some of the wild waves in the grain. Better slow with sore arms than sorry with electricity.

A beautiful cherry chest -- and an instant family heirloom.
Well done!
Beautiful, I love curly cherry. My planer gets tear out on it too.
Wow, what an interesting piece with all that grain popping like it does. Definitely a one-of-a-kind piece. Very nice!
Nicely done and a great preservation of remarkable cherry figure mate!
