My Mission style chest of drawers is complete along with the bed and nightstand.  I used QSWO for the primary wood and poplar wood for the secondary wood.  All the dovetails were cut using a TS jig.  The glue-up for the case was stressful; forty-four M&T joints (14 twin & 16 single) along with two dovetails, all in one glue-up.  The drawers are supported on undermount slides.  For the motif, the inlay is Mother-of-pearl and black veneer.  Finish is dye, shellac, gel stain, and wb lacquer.   The 4th piece to the set (chest of drawers #2) is in-work and it will be of a different design.  Thanks for looking.  Danl

Thanks for the reminder.  The plan was to add a label when all of the pieces were complete.  I know it is not a good plan.  thank you all for the kind words.   Danl
