My design for this cabinet was based on sketches in Making Authentic Craftsman Furniture (Dover Publications, 1986), a collection of re-printed articles from "The Craftsman" by Gustav Stickley.  Dimensions for the chest are 58"H x 38"W x 27"D and it is made from quarter-sawn white oak, with poplar and aromatic cedar as secondary woods and drawer components.  Finish is aneline dyes and pigment stains (to simulate fuming) and then shellac and wax.
