... this piece of mine in the Gallery ...
Derek Cohen of Perth, Australia, built this chest of drawers for his wife; it features figured Jarrah drawers and a makore frame-and-panel case. “Essentially, the design is a modern bombé, with tapered and curved sides, and a bow front. The drawers required compound dovetails,” he said. The top conceals a dressing-table mirror, and the top drawer has a hidden Quaker lock to protect a jewelry drawer with sliding trays.⠀
JARRAH AND MAKORE, 16-1⁄2D X 24-1⁄2W X 49H⠀
FROM FWW 285⠀

These were the photos they did not publish ...
Regards from Perth

Nice piece, you should be proud. Love those "pencil" dovetails or whatever they are called.

Maybe I can give you some tips for your next project.. Here is a museum example is some of my artisan-grade work..

Needs a little straightening up and trimming to qualify.
