I can’t recall Paul making that statement — does the OP have a link? I’m curious if it might have been a statement open to multiple interpretations.
My wife has a few Shaker pieces, and the outsides are nicely finished. I just went and spilled a bunch of clothing on the bed so I could remove the drawers and look inside of one. I attached some (admittedly terrible) pics where you can kind of make out the drawer side and the drawer front, and maybe see the difference in level of finish. Also one of the inside of the carcass. My wife says this piece was one of many purchased for my wife’s great-grandmother by her great-grandfather when they first moved into their new home, around 1890.
