    The drawers are surrounded with cocked beading, rather like using it, it always adds an extra something to a piece.

    Default Camphor

    I's really great to see camphor being used so well as a cabinet timber, which it deserves, and not just being burnt at the loacal sugar mill.

    Hi Cruzi

    Pretty Impressive Chest of Drawers. I think you get the Camphor Crown now

    I like the cockbeading. It's added that extra little bit of something that's not identified unless you know about it.


    Echoing Superbunnny here, but if possble, please may we have photo of inside the drawers?

    Did you use a secondary timber for the drawer sides/back/floor? What finish did you choose?

    Will you keep it for yourself?

    cheers

    Beautiful work. I really like the design. Also interested in the finish.
