Chest of Drawers

Jean-Francois made two chests of drawers out of maple for his son Julien. The model was inspired from pieces seen in a furniture store.  The selected handles, which are different from the model, remind one of the eyes of a sleeping children. The drawers were assembled using dovetail joints.
