Default Red Elm Towel Chest

Here's my first completed woodworking project of the season. It's a towel chest for our bathroom made mainly of red elm. The doors and drawer sides are ash. The drawer has handcut dovetails, the sides are frame and panel...nothing too fancy. The stain is a combination of golden oak, cherry, and early American. Some of the pics look a bit more red than it really is...the pics of the top and dovetails are more realistic of the actual color.

That's a nice looking chest. I like to see elm being used again.

Thanks for posting the pictures.

Very nice. True talent being shown. That is the type of work I aspire to achieve one of these days.
