 5 boxes for the girls Christmas. Wife, Daughter, DIL, Granddaughter, Grandson's girl friend.3 are Walnut, one is Mahogany and one Purpleheart. The drawers have 3 layers of steam bent cherry for the backs and a poplar front. Cork lining. Drawers are painted with 2 coats of yellow milk paint, then 2 coats of green. Sanded and burnished to give the used and abused look. 3 Coats of Osmo poly-x oil on top of all that to seal the milk paint. Osmo on the 18 staves and 3 support columns, top and bottom. Splines are dyed basswood.Plans were from the Woodcraft Magazine article. Some changes in the drawer construction and splines.Top ornament was turned on my lathe.
