9 Drawer Hickory Dresser

Next up in the shop I am going to build this custom designed 9 drawer hickory dresser for a client. It will feature exposed dovetail joinery for the frame work and dovetail drawers. It will stand 33” tall 48” wide and 18” deep and will feature a hand brushed lacquer finish.

When I was picking out the lumber from my supplier, I paid special attention to the grain of each board. My goal is to have the drawers cut in sequence so the grain follows through each drawer and flows from drawer to drawer. I also am hoping I can get the top to mimic the grain of the drawers.
