Dressing table

[Frank Pellow]

The most appropriate word for this is beautiful!

The only problem I have is that I showed the photos to my wife and she says she would like me to make something similar.  But, I am not at all sure that I am capable of building something similar.

Really well executed design.  Love the handles.  The finish is a great compliment to the simplicity of the piece.

Can you elaborate a bit on how you made the recesses?  Was it just an oval with a large bit and collar to follow the contour?

Hi Frank, I have a similar problem, my auntie visited us the other day and now she wants one too.

Hi Neil, Routering the recesses was some scary stuff. I made an oval template based in the base of my OF2000 router and used a massive bowl/cove bit. I couldnt use any collar due to the size of the bit and where it was positioned. Tested the template on a scrap piece of ply first, to check if it worked. Clamped the template and drawer fronts down securely, last thing I wanted was for the bit to catch.

KorDes,

I'm way behind in reviewing the many posts on FOG and just came across your chest of drawers project.

There's not much I can add to what has already been written.

Beautiful design, selection of woods, construction and finish.  I hope the owner of that new chest is equally pleased with her new treasure!
