Dresser
Baltic birch plywood
Build
Baltic birch cabinet and drawers, side-mount ball-bearing drawer , Wipe-on Poly finish.
Design
This dresser was made for my son's bedroom. The idea was to design something contemporary and simple that made the most of the baltic birch plywood. The dimensions were based roughly on a dresser I have from a major retailer.
What went wrong?
When I set up to cut the grooves for the drawer bottoms, I cut them on the wrong side in relation to the lap joints on the drawer backs and fronts. I had to go back and recut the grooves, and as a result there is a groove on the back side of the drawers that is fortunately not visible in normal use.
Details
The drawer faces are cut from a single piece of plywood so that the grain is matched across the face of the cabinet. I originally built this piece in 2018, and just recently came up with the design for the feet, and so that is why they have a slightly different coloring than the rest of the cabinet.
