FURNITURE

My blog is of my creations, My furniture, using wood I have collected from here and there, occasionally buying some to make up the difference.
My design is often based around what I have available.

Totara Draw Chest

This 6 draw unit is 1300mm high not including the mirror and 900mm wide the draws are graduated.
The legs are New Zealand Kauri and all the other timber is Totara.
The original design came from WoodCentral an article by Richard Jones thank you very much Richard.
The top has a very nice pattern that includes a burr, all the burrs in the draw fronts were booked to keep some continuity and show off as much burr as I could without overdoing it.
I used vacuum pressure to laminate the fronts.
The Totara was from a house renovation in Auckland it was covered in years of paint and thick of nails when I finaly rescued it from being sent to the timber recycling yard, I wasted a lot of the timber in the process of creating this as I didn't want to show a lot of nail holes.
