Tall cherry dresser

A celebration of the shaker style and the three main variants of the dovetail joint, this nine-drawer cherry dresser is constructed entirely of hardwood. The case components are joined with through dovetails at the top corners. Sliding dovetails join the dust panels between the drawers to the case sides. Hand-cut half-blind dovetails join the poplar drawer sides to the cherry drawer fronts. The drawer pulls are turned out of wenge and joined to the drawer front with a wedged mortise and tenon joint. Even the back of this case and bottom of each drawer received special treatment: they both have raised hardwood panels.
