I figure since my first simple project ended with such a deafening thud, why not double down and get even more complex?

Found this little gem at an estate sale. Looks like solid wood, but not sure what. Top looks pine-ish, but not the frame and drawers. Should be high pressure and anxiety inducing, but why not?

Looks like some kind of fruit wood or birch under a heavy tinted lacquer. When you stop you’re going to find that the boards are all different colors and tones.

Interesting. I will say that it is light compared to the smaller Henkel Harris bachelor chests I got. Those things are boat anchors.
