In cherry, finished with oil and shellac. Two drawers have fan carvings.
The sides of the lower case are single boards.
The dovetails are hand cut and the piece has 158 dovetails in total. The upper case joints are also dovetailed but these dovetails are hidden by the cornice and waist mouldings.
The design is a composite of plans found in Woodworkers Journal and in Norm Vandal's book but was largely inspired by the Eldred Wheeler version
