Modified Wide Cabin Dresser

Submitted by JimmyE3 on Sat, 02/23/2013 - 09:15

My wife's Christmas present. I modified the Cabin Wide Dresser plan to include two extra bottom drawers. I also built the drawers without metal slides which made the drawers a little bigger. Technically, I need to finish this with some nylo-tape to make the drawers slide more smoothly. A similar style/size dresser made of solid wood was easily over $500, this cost less than $200 in materials and my boys were able to help out.

Estimated Cost
$170
Estimated Time Investment
Weekend Project (10-20 Hours)
Finish Used
Minwax Early American 230 stain, then several coats of natural Danish oil. Brushed the stain on and allowed to dry for 24+ hours. Then put on several hand rubbed coats of Danish oil (I love this stuff).
