Few days ago was my birthday. I got the best gift from my friend Rick. He is a hobbyist woodworker.

He decided to use his band saw for that project. We started researching for a model to copy, but I just couldn't decide, so Rick said it's going to be a surprise.

Rick used African Mahogany for the body. The front of the drawers were made from African Padauk and the handles from Black Walnut.
I will soon describe those pictures, but I need Rick's assistance to do that.
