Seen here is my first personal wood working project. I loved the two tone look of this piece as the white really complements and makes the antique walnut stained drawer fronts pop! While the dresser turned out really well considering it being my first build, I learned a lot of lessons. I had a lot of challenges because like every new wood worker, you likely wont have all the right tools for the task at hand. I built this dresser with a circular saw, Kreg jig tool, a miter saw and Wagner spray gun. With these limitation, most task took 2x-3x longer than it normally would. In the end, I was pleased with the outcome.
