Dresser / Chest Of Drawers With Exotic Wood

$2,350

My love of making furniture is only second to my love of designing furniture. I have so many furniture ideas, you wouldn't believe me if I told you. If I had an unlimited supply to the wood of my choice and tons more free time, I would be able to make at least half of my furniture designs. This particular dresser is the first time I've use African Padauk. (FYI I didn't stain the wood red, thats the original color) I fell in love with this wood so much, that I plan to use it a lot more in the future. Who wouldn't love a wood that turns burgundy after a light coat of oil and lacquer? The reason this dresser got made, out of so many other ideas I have for furniture, is because I really wanted to try box joints with a solid wood in the horizontal position. I know that they always say that "there's nothing new under the sun" but I've yet to see anyone else use box joints with the edges of the wood. Everyone has always used the ends on the wood for box joints. I not having fun if I'm not trying something new :-) Dresser is 47" wide 37" high 21- 1/4" deep I live in Los Angeles, and would be willing to drive up to 4 hours away to deliver dresser for small fee. If you live further than that, we can make arrangements to have it shipped once I know where it needs to go. Thanks for checking out my work. I am supper proud of it. Michel

A little about me.
I used my Montgomery G.I Bill money I got from serving to go to woodworking school. I spent 3 and a half years in the school and then I worked for a few different wood shops till I landed where I am now.
I am very happy where I am now and super proud of the work we do there.
When I'm not designing for clients I'm building my own designs.

My ethos is the same as all great designers. That is, “Form Must Always Follow Function”.
I, like most people, have a favorite things to look at. For me it’s trees, I love almost all of them. When I'm standing under a huge one I get such a feeling of peace and comfort.
I’m sure we all know by now that trees look the way they do because that’s exactly how they need to be designed in order for them to thrive.
The tree to me is the epitome of Form Following Function.

The tree is my standard, it is the bar that I’m trying to reach.
A tree is mighty and durable. I want my furniture to be strong and well built.
A tree is beautiful and timeless. I want my furniture to be super cool and never trendy.

Thanks again for taking the time.
