Recently, I have posted about pullthrough drawers and drawer encoding on
the
wreck. Here is the result.

What can I say about this beast? It's heavy. Except plywood drawer
bottoms,
it is entirely constructed of sugar (hard) maple. The finish is
water-based
poly on all but the drawer interiors and bottoms which has 2 light coats
of
shellac

This is stock which I purchased very at very low cost, mostly because of
the
unusual defects. This maple tree had been tapped for syrup production.
Note
the holes correspond to all of the (dis) coloration marks. I used
"figured"
stock for all the drawer fronts and pannels, and clear for the rest.

The drawer orientation encoding scheme that I came up with is one dot per
drawer. "upper" drawers have the dot above the runner, lowers, below.
Matching dots are inlaid on the case.

I must say that this project is of deceivingly large scope. It has 20
drawer
fronts, more than my reasonably well-equipped kitchen. Sanding, fitting,
finishing the drawers and drawer dividers seemed to take an eternity.
faces
of the drawers were joined with a lock rabbet and the fixed drawer back
(middle?) employed through tennons housed in a shallow dado.

Thanks for looking,

Steve
