wdwerker Posted December 9, 2016 Report Share Posted December 9, 2016 I like the figured piece. I wasn't suggesting a frame and panel drawer front. I was suggesting a quickie frame to visualize which parts of the figured board to include and which to cut off. Sometimes the best appearance is not parallel to the current edges, skewed one way or the other may look much better. If you can get the straight grain piece finished to match the door frames it would be a safe way to go.

Popular Post Pwk5017 Posted January 10, 2017 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted January 10, 2017 I completed the drawer before Christmas, but kept it hidden from the community, because i reneged on our group decision. I mocked up two versions, and ended up picking the boobs piece. Ive had this damn board section for 3ish years. It was part of the first lumber purchase i ever made--some walnut in a barn on CL. Right or wrong, it was being used. My guilt forced me to come clean and close the loop on this build. The interior is hard maple i resawed to 1/4-3/8" with dadoes halfway through the width/height. Turned out better than i imagined. They fit so tightly that the whole thing isnt glued. Final step is to make door pulls. My wife wanted to use some sort of brushed nickel finish, but it is going to be way too much contrast for me. I told her they will be wood and that is that. Now to decide what they will look like... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wdwerker Posted January 10, 2017 Report Share Posted January 10, 2017 Glad you used the figured board ! Oil rubbed bronze pulls might look good on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coop Posted January 11, 2017 Report Share Posted January 11, 2017 I think the delim a is not what you use but where you locate them. I know where you shouldn't put them and ruin the effect! Remember, these are knobs we're talking about, not nips. You could take out every other partition and use them for lacy bras! Sorry, got caught up in the moment. Great looking build!

What about twine?? As per wdwerker oiled bronze might work well - would certainly look classic. Or you could go for 'soul-patch asian' inspired handles as you mentioned before. Final suggestion (based on an antique wardrobe my Grandfather had) - tapered elipse/stretched oval handles - think they're pewter on the antique but you could go for wood with dowel fitting?
