I finally cut the dovetails for the drawers and glued them up. This only took a month!
While the dovetails were machine cut using my Leigh Dovetail jig, I did make then drawers slightly wider than necessary so that I could plane then to a perfect fit. I finished doing that tonight.
The sides are mahogany and the drawer fronts are ambrosia maple. The top set of drawers are 2 1/2" high, while the bottom set are 3 1/4" high. All of them are about 16 1/4" wide x 10" deep. They have 1/4" thick plywood bottoms.
I still need to cut the grooves for the runners in the drawer sides and then install the runners in the cabinet.
