My mission style chest of drawers#2 is complete along with the bed, nightstand, and the 1st chest-of-drawers.  My wife likes radical medullary rays.  All the dovetails were cut using a TS jig.  The glue-up for the case was a 30 min. event.  The drawers are supported on undermount slides. The finish is dye, shellac, gel stain, shellac, and 3 coats of wb lacquer, which were applied throughout the assembly build.   The Cynthia Collection is now complete.  My wife is happy and so am I.  This journey was fun.  Thanks for looking.  Danl

The longer drawers bottoms were divided and I dovetailed a stiffener to the drawer to provide additional strength.

Well done!

Sweet.  I like all of them.

Exquisite craftsmanship and detail Dan. A beautiful, heirloom set. The QSWO and your finish method is spectacular.

Thank-you for sharing this complete build with us here. Very enjoyable to follow along.

 

Wonderful piece of work

You definitely built a family heirloom, beautiful work. 

Thank you all for the kind words.  I do appreciate it.  I had to learn much and at times I did not know if I was making expensive scrap.  But, all came out well.  Now, to cleaning my basement shop and remodeling the neglected primary bathroom.  Danl

That is gorgeous, the work as well as the end product.

The only thing a woodtinker like me can say is WOW!!!

That comes together really nicely!!!
