qundoy Posted April 2, 2011 Report Posted April 2, 2011 this is the last piece of bedroom furniture to complete the set i built for my wife, 12 drawer chest, the frame is cherry, the panels and drawers are hard maple. 84 mortise and tennons and 36 dovetails on the carcase,the only metal fastners are the brass screws securing the back to the cabinet
Syzygies Posted April 3, 2011 Report Posted April 3, 2011 Re: cabinet Nice work! I like the exposed dovetail, I'm in the school that joints should be seen. We just took delivery of a cherry kitchen table from our neighbor, who's a professional woodworker (and has my old K7 as a hand-me-down). I'm a hobbiest (not in your league!) but I can't imagine making the top he made, a 30" by 40" slab of cherry the thickness of butcher block. I've been to the store (MacBeath Hardword) where he got the cherry pieces, and it comes rough cut, needing more machinery than would fit into my first apartment to reach its final form.
