Tall Mission Style Dresser Build

This is the build for the five drawer modified mission style oak dresser. You can see several of the techniques used for the construction.

One of the complex parts of this build was the drawer support frames. The frames really make up the structure of the dresser as opposed to a face from glued on the front. Getting the measurements correct was critical.
