    Smile White Ash Drawers

    Greetings from England!

    Finshed this off over the weekend.

    It's for my daughter Sophie who's 2 1/2. She already has about 10 times more clothes than I do



    American White Ash . 4" Boards Glued up for the top. No biscuits. Used Ply 3/4" Ply for the sides which I lipped with the same Ash. the internal frame is Ash, joined in the corners with my pocket hole jig I made just recently. The frames are rebated into the sides and glued in with Poly. The top is attached with screws (Brass) through elongated holes in the battens underneath. 4 screws in each side.

    Drawers are 1/2" Ply with 1/4" Bases. They needed to be strong to cope with SWMBO shopping habit. The fronts are 18mm Ash, attached with 4 brass screws through the ply front.



    Hardware is 'Brushed Nickel' from Screwfix.com



    Finish is Liberon 'White Polish' - Clear Shellac?. Ended up with about 6 coats but it was very quick to apply and looks nice. I used almost a full bottle (250ml) but I spilt a bit rushing trying to keep a 'wet edge'.






    Overall sizes are roughly 1200mm high, 500mm deep, 500mm wide

    Thanks for looking.
    Lee.

    Nice timber and craftsmanship. The only thing that I think looks slightly out are the size of the handles - considering the size of the piece and number of handles they look a bit big - could just be the photos.
