Molding glued and clamped to the front of the dresser.

 

I am behind on taking and posting pictures for this series of posts. I completed installing the molding over two weeks ago. Then, after final sanding the case, applied three coats of Tung oil.

Alex helped me carry the case into the house and up the stairs into his room, where it now sits. I got the finished case out of the shop as quickly as I did because I didn't want several weeks of saw and sanding dust to settle on it while I worked on the drawers. I spent last week cutting dovetails on seven drawers. This week I glued up the drawers, and then started sanding, sanding, and sanding. Amazingly, I put the first coat of Tung oil on the drawer fronts this afternoon. I expected the sanding to go on for several more days. I still need to turn twelve shaker knobs for the drawers. But the end of the project is coming in sight. STB
