Custom Dressers

It is interesting how projects come together. I met these clients when they were in the process of planning the remodel of their kitchen, things did not come together for that project, but we shared design sensibilities.
After they finished their kitchen remodel they contacted me to see if I could make some custom frames for some mirrors that used to be in their bathrooms. I made two bamboo frames out of unfinished bamboo flooring, and finished them with AMF safecoat oil finish. (I will insert pictures later)
While working on that project we started talking about dressers.... They wanted a modern style tall chest for for their daughter and a baby that was on the way. I used full extension slides so the drawers open nice and wide.
These are made with FSC certified maple and veneer plywood. I used low VOC AFM Safecoat satin finish.

The handles were custom made with maple and 1/2 acrylic scrap.

After finishing the first two dressers I designed and built 6 drawer dresser. For finish we went with FSC certified oak and oak veneer, with a dark chocolate finish. The finish was a custom blend of low VOC clear finish and low VOC dark chocolate latex pigment

Great dresser, great blog! My friend has just finished an MA in sustainable architecture so we do a lot of talking around the kinds of principles you work with - love it!
