Cherry and ash drawer unit

[Hardwood66]

This is what I'm currently working on started by jointing 2 ash boards to make a wider board for the main carcass

Next I vanneeed the ply back with rippled cherry and gave it a good sanding and sealed it with sanding seeler

next I glued up the main carcass

while working on the secondary cherry top

was all left overnight to rest before gluing the legs to the sides as they were shaped on the back I used the off cuts to make it parallel so I could use my bessy 27s at the front I could use g clamps.

once it was dry it was sanded with 180 to remove any glue and had the top fitted

next I trimmed the back panel with cherry because I didn't like how it looked

here's a close up with no glue lines

and today I have chosen my drawer fronts and started to machine up the drawer boxes in ash
I have ordered push to open runners they were a bit spendy but I think it will look better overall with our drawer pulls

and here's a few overall shots

Been working on the drawers this week got a lot done started with chopping out all the dt tails first

then after 4 glues ups I had 4 drawers ready to fit

next I fitted all the drawers on the push to open hard where

and now I've started to lay out the cherry fronts

top two drawers need planing down to match the bottom two but starting to look nice

Finial thing round over the drawer fronts and sand and finish it
