9 drawer hickory dresser dovetail frames

I started out building the framework of the dresser using sliding dovetails on the exposed joinery. I felt it would be a nice touch instead of using standard dados. The sliding dovetails are stronger than dados and are considered to be a hallmark of fine handcrafted furniture. I also hope that it will make my craftsmanship standout from the crowd; it is not a design element that one sees very often.
