Nicely done.

Are those finger joints on the carcase?

The exposed carcase joinery makes me think of Becksvoort's chests
of
drawers. His are Shaker-derived though.


Yeah, they're finger joints. I use them all the time. If you invest
the time to create a jig, then you might as well use it. That's the
first time I've ever rounded them. I wasn't sure how that would go
so
I tried it on a test joint. It looked great but at the same time it
wasn't an entire cabinet. Some are worried about illegal
immigration,
but I could have used a mexican or two to help me run that carcass
over the router table....

It puts me in mind of my mother's Chinese chest, only without the
carving. Same rounded corners with finger joints on some edges and
dovetails on others.
