This chest of drawers was constructed based on plans found in Norm Abram's
book "Mostly Shaker". I did modify the design to incorporate aromic cedar dust
panels and drawer bottoms. I used yellow pine for the carcase and internal frames. I
used heartwood yellow pine for the drawer fronts. One day when I was in the
local lumber yard I noticed that there was a group of clear pine boards with old growth
heartwood. I used this wood for the drawer fronts.
I like the deisgn of the base in that you can run the
vacuum cleaner right under it.
