Queen Anne-style Highboy
Oct 24, 2012
Woodworker: Mark Slowik
Slowik built this Connecticut flat-top highboy after seeing one featured in Jeffrey P. Greene’s American Furniture of the 18th Century (The Taunton Press, 1996). The piece is constructed out of cherry — some from recycled wooden pallets — and white pine. The highboy is finished with two layers of dye stain and a hand-rubbed gel-varnish topcoat.
