Here are a few more pictures of the shoe cabinet detailing some of the assembly. I did not use a plan as such but worked from a sketch I made on the computer. As for the Piranha pine it is the wood from the Monkey puzzle tree apparently! I had no idea of this until I was told. It is very much like a Pine with it's grain but is much harder. Not a bad wood to work. The wood was given to me along with two drawers which were of different sizes. The brief was to make a chest of drawers out of the Piranha using the two drawers. I first had to cut one of the drawers down to match the other and then make another to match along with a carcass to house them. Didn't turn out too bad really. Thanks for your knd comments guys, it makes it all worthwhile.
