Dresser for my daughter
Furnished content. (from Lumberjocks.com)
This is the second dresser I have made for my daughters. It's made from recycled oak and hickory. The black holes that you see are the bolt holes form a huge pallet I drug home. The top and bottom of the pallet were 2 x 6 net rough sawn oak and the stringers were 4x8 it was almost enough to get through two dressers. I also had several hundred feet of 7/8 x 4 net finished what I thought was oak. After I had it all milled up I realized that was hickory. Luckily a coat of watco stain was the great equalizer and it all passes for oak. You can see the hickory in the corner posts. The sides are a 3/8 panel set in dados in the corner posts and the 5/4×2 horizontals. The horizontals are cut like a tendon so that the sides all stacked. The drawers are 1×8 white wood with dovetailed corners and dadoed in bottoms. The drawer slides are full extension ball bering 100# slides . The knobs my daughter picked out. It's stained with Watco dark walnut danish oil. The final finish is 3 coats of satin polyurethane. Finished size is 18 deep, 36 wide and 54 tall. The top is an inch larger on 3 sides. It's been a lot of fun and hopefully it's something she will hang onto and remember me. Sorry the pictures are laying sideways.
