Elm Chest...done and dusted, final pics

Many thanks for all the comments, much appreciated

Rob,
That is fabulous - I really like it very much indeed. Congrats on getting the dovetails out of the burr! (how many pins did you break? :wink: )

What are the drawer pulls made from?

Didn't actually break any pins though one or two were a bit crumbly, drawer pulls and all other detailing in ebony

Few hours here, bit there....wasn't counting really

So what you going to put in those drawers?

My daughter has offered (in the avatar as a student receiving a Red Cross parcel) to fill it up with all sorts of clutter...up in her bedroom. Appropriate reply offered, 'nuff said

Nothing would induce me to spoil the moment. Stick it in the interesting furniture thread in a year or two and I'll come to it fresh and will probably change my mind anyway!

Cripes. Didn't know conditions for students had got that bad... :shock:

Cheers, Alf

That is gorgeous!!
I love elm anyway but you have made it look just ......stunning seems to be the most popular adjective. Right, stunning it is!
Well done.
