Queen Anne Highboy

Here is a QA Highboy that I recently
finished. Primary wood is walnut with white oak for drawer sides and backs and soft maple for drawer bottoms and interior parts. I cut all the wood for this chest with my Woodmizer sawmill.
The walnut is all from the same log and is air dried. The hardware is from Londonderry Brasses. This was a fun build and had alot of challenging elements to it. I would estimate I have about 150 hours total time in it.
(over a year and a half span.)
I took the general design from an article in Fine Woodworking by Randall O'donnell and made a few changes.
Thanks for looking and let me know what you think. (update: I got the name of the author wrong. The above name is now correct. My apologies to Mr. O'donnell and thanks to Dave S. for pointing that out. Also Dave points out that the hours seem to be low. The project spanned 1-1/2 years and I really did'nt keep track of hours accurately as it was not a commission, so he's probably correct.
I could take another stab at how many hours it took but it would be about as accurate as my first estimate :))
