Chest of Drawers sans sides

2007 No. 3

Cherry, Red Oak, Maple, Sycamore, Pecan, Red Cedar

    The design of this unusual piece came to me in a flash one day, but the execution took several months. The piece has no sides! The drawer sides do double duty as the chest sides, highlighting the dovetail joinery when the drawers are open. There are few 90 degree angles in this piece, and the drawers are not simple boxes, yet they slide nicely in their trapezoidal openings.
