Early 1900s spruce drawers

Woodman

By Woodman

Here's the curb find seen in the rough, summer of 2018. Outside an old administrative building in West Philly. These built-in-place drawers are c.1885-1915. Apparently "kit" drawer parts. The drawer sides are dado'd, the drawer bottoms hand-planed on three sides to fit the dado. Nailed to the drawer front. I only salvaged the bottoms. Oops!

As @John Morris has chosen to note The Woodman within 2022 December newsletter, I revisit this posting and note:

 

This is the money shot.  I passed this pile of 'trash' for a couple of weeks.  Hard to believe it stayed by the curb that long. Bureaucracy. The college wanted the City to haul it away. City union rubbish haulers wouldn't touch it.

 

I use items made from this old spruce every day.
