Description

This dresser is made entirely from plywood, plus I used some reclaimed oak for the frame. Plywood is always a pain in the butt to haul though, so I decided to design the entire dresser using only 2’x4′ handy panels that I could get shipped to my house from Purebond. This also gave me the ability to play with some really cool species of plywood that I can’t get locally in small quantities. I took full advantage of this by making the different species into a cool patchwork pattern (mahogany, walnut, hickory, and alder). This pattern is actually continuous across all of the drawer faces and even wraps around the sides of the dresser. The frame of the dresser I built is made from ebonized oak which was done by charring the surface with a MAP gas torch and then sealing it in with tung oil but you can customize this to fit your vision.

Overall, the dresser is 4’8″ wide, 1’7″ deep, and 3’3″ tall. It has been specifically designed to maximize a sheet of plywood. The cool part about this design is that you can get a much different look depending on the wood species that you choose. I think it would even look cool to make the patchwork panels out of the same species, that way the grain would be broken up with the pattern, but it would be all the same color, a little more subtle than what I went with.
