Default chest of drawers

Jeff said:

I have a few pictures of my latest piece. It's a chest of drawers
built in mid-century Danish modern style...


Nice work. I'm assuming the fronts are walnut? The sides look like
they could be something else, maybe Cocobola?

I need to get back to some flat work, but I'm still playing with
exotics and woodturning at the moment.

I've used a lot of finger (box) joints on things as well (entomology
boxes for one) - just because they look cool and are reasonably
strong. I have noticed that they tend to expand and contract slightly
during seasonal (humidity) changes - meaning that sometimes the pins
can swell slightly proud of the adjacent pins on thick stock.

May your grand kids (or whatever) enjoy your heirloom work.
(And I looked over your blog, BTW. ;-) )

Namaste,

Greg G.
