Padouk Entertainment Center

An entertainment center I made with the left overs from the Adirondack chairs. This is finished with Minwax Tung Oil. It is inspired by a similar dresser by Sam Maloof. The joinery is simply dados with inlaid dovetails. The dovetails are about an inch thick. I think Maloof may have used sliding dovetails, but there is no way I could have gotten that to work. I like the result and it is relatively easy to do. The drawer has hand cut dovetails and is a piston fit into the opening.
