Before the finish on the tops and without the drawers
Joinery check on the pattern or on your full size drawing ...
Close up of the joinery ... center drawer border tenons on the left
We sort of winged the drawer joinery as I have found in the past that efficiently dovetailing sides to curving fronts is next to impossible. Once the radius gets below a certain dimension the parts don;t merge together gracefully ... You could do it but there is only so much labor intensive work you can ask your clients to pay for ... If I were doing it for myself .... I would still do it this way ... You can leave questions on this post in the comments section if you like ... I'll do my best to get back to you on them ... All for now ...

Very nice and beautiful color.
First of all... thank you for this blog. I've been following along for over a year now and it has been very educational and entertaining. Second, I'm curious how you avoid problems with your inlay. It would seem as the top moves your joints would eventually fail. Again thanks for the blog.
