Well, I think you have successfully mastered both. Beautiful work on the chest of drawers.

Thank you all!

I'm not sure of correct term here... It is glued laminated timber, made of oak.

The coating is few thin layers of liquid wax for timber and final layer is solid wax.

Beautiful job on that piece! Did you glue the slots yourself or did you purchase pre set panels?

Very nice.

The boards were in size  40 cm x 120 cm, 18 mm thick.
My job was to cut those in pieces and drill & join & glue all together.

Invested to a milling cutter to formulate drawer chest edges...

Great work GulfOfBothnia, you should be able to store a lot of reels in that very stylish looking piece of furniture.

  Thanks for the pictures,  Thats very nice looking furniture you have made.  It will last a long time for sure.  You are inspiring me to stay home from fishing and do something useful as well.  ;)   Put you undys on the second one  and the reels on top. 8)

I have also considered building a showcase cabinet on top of the drawer. Not sure if it ever going to happen though

It's quite full already, but some - maybe 1/3 - are used for tools and other than reels. At the moment ~50 reels. Boxed reels take much more room, 4 per drawer.
