What a beautiful job you've done of it!
I've not seen Camphor wood in anything bigger than a pen blank before. It's quite an amazing effect when made into a chest.

I know you believe you understand what you think I wrote, but I'm not sure you realize that what you just read is not what I meant.
Regards, Woodwould.

Super work on the chest Cruzi!! Wonderful design too!!
I don't know what you had in the way of stock to choose from but the timber is chosen is beautifully suited to the job. Not over decorative but with really interesting figure.

Lovely design and craftsmanship, Cruzi. I particularly noted your "hybrid" drawer fronts to give a traditional appearance to modern engineering.
With regard to the drawer runners, what brand did you finally chose? Would you use that brand next Time?
Cheers

Drawer runners are H'a'fele (Elraco), great action and will be using them again
