ready to stuff full of socks

Thats Walnut isn't it?

Dude, it turned out nice...

beautiful armoire- prolly heavy

I have similar

Could hold a lot of smokes.

interesting piece--can't say I've ever seen anything exactly like it.

Hardware style would indicate 1930's- 1940's.

Andy, any info on the back? Or maybe on the drawers?

How tall is it? Looks like it might be kinda hare to peer into those top drawers...

turned out very nice...

Dude what are you talkimg about "no so great"? That's some beautiful burl walnut. If you live down south, it's a Chifferobe. French, it's an Armoire. Sears started selling them after 1900 or so but cheif is in the area late 40's maybe. Veneer of course but that's nice and it looks like the veneer inlay on that upper accent is all there. I don't see any chips or dings in it especially around the edges.

You did a great job!

^thanks.

The "veneer" is at least 1/16" thick......not like a lot of stuff you see.

The drawers don't stack up perfectly; so at some point I may apply a little carpentry to the thing and may space them out so the gap is consistent between each.

Chief.......the thing overall is about 59.5" tall. A tall fella will have no problem seeing in the top drawer......and there IS no drawer on the left side; it is fake; actually part of the closet door.

I looked it over and the original label is pretty much destroyed; very little of interest is legible.

If you like I CAN snap pictures and email you.

I would call that a Gent's Chest!

Nice piece!

Nice job Andy, beautiful piece.

Andy, no need to take pics of the lable. I was just thinking that you might have fun seeing if the original factory was still around.

I was also thinking that that is a nicer piece than you are giving it credit for--it is both unusual and visually appealing.

And the use of veneer is completely legit, not an indicator of 'cheapness' at all (imo).

just Wiki'd 'wood veneer'. I've always thought it became popular with woodworkers in the 1800's, but Wiki says it's been in use since Egyptian times

Andy Nice work!

Congrats on a job well done..

wheel,

I'll send Tom Robinson over to bust that up for ya.

Looks very nice, art deco style, but I'm no expert on styles.

Some high quality veneer for sure.

Well done sir.

dayum good job andy!

turned out very nice...
