American white oak chest of drawers

The drawers have solid cedar back left bare to help keep the moths down

Looks nice, what finish do you use? Does the Cedar keep the moths away?

Thats looking really nice, Hand or router cut dovetails ? I take it moths dont like bare cedar ! :shock:

Sorry everyone the dovetails were cut on a Leigh jig. Yes the smell of cedar really helps to keep moths down!

Very nice drawers, I just followed the link to your flickr photo's, there's some nice work there, the cutting stations are particularly impressive.

 

[Grahamshed]

Very nice. Is there any form of runner on the drawers ?

 

[martinhowlett]

Thanks for the comments, the cutting stations was a lovely job.

Yes the drawers have runners, I used 350mm Blum Motion full extension runners. I added a 35 mm block to allow for the 385 draw box. It saved buying 400 runners which are special order from Germany!
