7-drawer cherry dresser

I'm beginning a new project that has my cozy shop filled to the gills with lumber. I just finished up all the gluing, milling & rough cutting of the cherry and maple lumber so things are gradually turning into manageable-sized pieces and I have a little room to work again. The design is based on the Dunning dresser made by The Joinery so creation of the plans has been a bit of a reverse engineering feat. The top two drawers will be box-jointed to create a nice exposed joint detail that will contrast the cherry and maple. The other five drawers will be half-blind dovetailed. What they won't be is completed by Christmas 2015 as originally intended, but my wife Deirdre is an understanding person for which I am very grateful. She has now given me until her birthday in late May but I'm on pace to crush that deadline.

Maple and cherry parts for the seven drawers, taped and labelled so I don't lose track of them while I'm building the main dresser cabinet. Also shown are the plans for the dresser which will be 54" H x 39" W x 22" D.
