Welcome to the forum. Lots of experience and learning to be had here. -
Thanks for the post! I recently joined and was confused how to add images

Hi there, a bit about me: I'm from the West Coast. New to woodworking and doing some small-ish projects here and there. Learning new things. I'm pretty practically-minded, I very much appreciate art but I figure I can make prettier stuff when I've got more experience. I also care a lot about environmental concerns, in regards to both pollution/sustainability and personal health. I do a lot of repurposing/salvaging materials, I'm a bit of a scavenger. But for anything that'll come into contact with food I'm strict on fresh, untreated material. So yeah, that's me. Hello!

Yeah, I thought of that but that would make a really heavy draw front - about 2 1/2" thick in the center. 12/4 lumber? Thinking out loud>>>>>>I could glue 2 or 3 boards together to get the thickness. Joints won't show if I veneer the outside. It would give me a nice reference surface for cuttting the drawer to final width and it would make laying out the dovetails much easier. Then, I could hog (resaw) out the back of the drawer with the band saw and sand it smooth. Yeah, if I do this again I may just take your suggestion. Making the fronts curved- laminated has created all kinds of extra work and challenges because I don't have good reference surfaces. I am at the point of trying to figure out how to do the dovetails on the end of a curved laminated board that I can't put in a vise like I usually do to scribe the dovetail shape on the end of the front. Thanks for the comment.
