This is a project that came from Frank Gottshalls: "Making Furniture Masterpieces". It took me 6 months to make and is made from rough sawn oak that I dried and planed. The legs feet front rail and front drawer are all hand carved. The four drawers have half blind dovetails. The leg columns were turned and fluted.


Design or Plan used: Frank Gottshall
