Federal Bow-Front Chest

Feb 14, 2023

Canyon built this Federal bow-front chest of drawers while a student at North Bennet Street School. She was lucky to find satinwood veneer for the drawer fronts, whose curved substrates she sawed from 8/4 walnut. She used a short length of a bandsaw blade to scratch in the grooves for the walnut and holly banding around the case and top. Brass drawer pulls cast in 1802 round out the piece.
