What's on the Bench? 

 

Work in progress:

Description:

My wife and I are expecting in February, so two pieces of furniture are being built for our new addition. The first is this dresser that will have a detachable rack on top for use as a changing table. Once the changing table is no longer needed, the rack can be removed, but the dresser and its useful storage will remain.

 

Wood: 

The case will be made out of cherry. The knobs and accents around the drawers will be made of walnut. 

 

Joinery:

As with all of the furniture I build, I will use traditional mortise and tenon joinery for the case and dovetail the drawers.

 

Finish: A clear,durable finish called General Finishes Enduro will be used to protect the wood.
