This is a towel chest I designed for our bathroom made mainly of red elm. I'd consider it a Mission/Arts & Crafts style. It was finished it just in time for our 27th anniversary, but it was never really intended as a gift! No formal plans are available for this chest. It's ~ 51" tall x 30" wide x 17" deep.

The doors and drawer sides are ash. All other visible main components are red elm. The drawer has handcut dovetails, the sides of the chest are frame and panel construction, with the tenons made up of a sliding dovetail for strength. The stain is a combination of golden oak, cherry, and early American, all finished with poly.
