Here are two pieces of furniture I built for our bedroom. The first is a classic chest on chest. The second will be a duplicate of the lower chest. I've selected walnut as the main wood for this project. These two pieces of furniture will compliment the lingerie chest I built earlier. The ogee bracket feet on the lingerie chest come from the same pattern but are half the size of the feet for the chest on chest. Pictures of the lingerie chest can be found by clicking here. This chest on chest has very graceful lines - from the gentle curved ogee feet to the beveled and fluted corner posts on the front of the lower chest. Since walnut molding is not readily available, I had to make my own. The chests feature three different moldings; there's a base molding at the bottom of the lower chest, a transition or "waist" molding between the lower and upper chest, and a nice two-part cornice molding around the top of the upper chest. Both pieces required a total of 11 drawers and 22 brass drawer pulls. The drawers feature dovetail joinery for the fronts and ride on wooden guides. |
