This is the front of the case without the top.






Top


Maple ply, BLO followed by varnish. I did use spar varnish on the top.

This is for my daughter, in college and is now trying to embarrass me like I use to embarrass her.

They came out very nice. I like the glossy finish. You going to let her pick out drawer pulls or just leave the drawers like they are?

Nice dresser, I like the maple and the spar varnish looks great on the top!

I made some handles for it out of Maple. Unfortunately, I let it go before I got a picture of the completed dresser.

If I had to do it again, I would have used drawer fronts that looked better but this one was the fall back if I messed up the glossy black one.
