Very nicely done Del - a new heirloom for sure! I see one of the new tables by it as well!
Nice project!

Really nice Del. That must have been one heck of a tree. After 19 yrs. Are you sure it was dry enough to use? :D LOL

Wow a real woodworker "i cut the tree down", "hauled it down the river", "pulled it up the bank", "washed it off", "to the saw mill" and then let it dry for 19 years!!!!!!! That is the way to do it!!! (I can hear the Tim Taylor grunts all across the world as they look at your post.)

To bad we don't have a contest going on.... I'd vote for your project hands down.

Thanks for the picture and post!

thanks for the nice reply's i used style and rail's cuts around the mirror and a cabnet grade lacquer and no stain i like the different hues that wood has all natural color and the inlays on the door's and sides not glued in and of course the drower has dovel tails and is of oak now to put the trimming's in place of the nice planks thanks agn del schisler
Damn, and I'm having trouble figuring out how to go about mounting my plunge router in my router table .... and then guys like Del come along and just popup a photo from their "brandnew handmade dresser" .... :) :)

All hail to Del , wicked job men !!!
very nice work Del
