I started this more than 1 1/2 years ago and I'm calling it done (except for the back but close enough).
Overall the design is mine but I took some inspiration from a piece I saw in FWW.
Made of walnut and poplar with plywood drawer bottoms. The walnut came from my neighbor's tree which fell down in a storm 2 1/2 years ago. I helped the sawyer saw it into lumber. The back will be walnut boards from the same tree.
Dimensions are 42"H x 48"W x 21"D. The sides, top, and bottom are just 2 boards wide. Nice to have access to such wide boards. The sides are not bookmatched, but if you put the sides side-by-side, they would be.
Handcut half-blind dovetails. Not my first time doing DTs, but my first time doing half blinds on a real project. The only other time was as a homework assignment when I took WWing classes.
Thanks for looking,
Paul
