BigJimAK...

here are a few pics of the chest of drawers I've been working on. Believe me, the pictures don't do the graftline walnut justice... By the time I got done cleaning up the walnut there wasn't as much as I had hoped. So I took and resawed it, then book matched all but 2 of the drawer fronts. I kinda like how it turned out. The frame is cherry.

Man those are *sweet*, Bill.. Beautiful grain! Are the splines made from Walnut? They appear darker than the cherry.

How about telling us about your construction technique? Glue / clamps / pins ??? Any gotchas or near-gotchas someone should watch for when making something like this?

I'm really looking forward to seeing the veneer... vacuum-bagged, no less!

You're a great inspiration!, buddy!
