Nice, and much more ambitious than my projects at this stage. Lots of mortise and tenon joints for those frame and panel parts. Are the drawers going to be half blind dovetails? One thing I wonder about. It looks like the top is also frame and panel. So it is not a flat panel. Does that mean you do not intend the top to hold various objects the way a side board would? Just curious.
Hi Sanford. Thank you. Yes, the drawers will have half-blinds. For the top, what I would like to do is make it with flat panels and then fill the recess panels with different colored inlay slightly proud of the rails and then plane them flush.
I’ve been making some dressers with panel and groove sides, as well as the back and have decided to try s different design. The glue-up is challenging. It can be difficult to keep everything square, especially if drawers are made instead of doors. A bigger challenge will be fitting the dovetail dividers that run perpendicular. These will also be panel and groove. I’ve made a series of sketches to help me plan for the dado grooves that will hold the shelves. Here’s one.
