    A Genealogy Chest

    Sandy, my wife, needed a place to store all of her Genealogy records so I built this 3 drawer chest using raised panels for the sides and back, it is finished on all 4 sides since it sits out in the open. It stands 29" high, 29" wide and 18" deep. It is built from soft maple, stained red mahogany with a poly finish. The design cut into the face of the drawers is done with a Milescraft Spirocrafter. http://www.milescraft.com/router/1204.html The drawer faces are done with the raised panel bit and a round over bit.

                          Looks very nice. You put some "craftsman details" on it, which really makes it llok nice.

                                                          How easy did you find the spirocrafter to use??
