re: Small chest of drawers from (mostly) dead trees from our property

So you are in the - wife-doesnt-like-it-club too.  I guess many of us Dudes are (yes, Big Lebowski reference).  Lately tho, the wife has been like - oh, I can sell that in my shop! Of course, nothing I have made of late has even the remotest hint of Wood, so not really progress.
While I like the style of the cabinet and accents, I will be honest - because I know you are a big boy and can handle it - I think the dark brown walnut and the red in the cedar are clashing.  On the other hand, the cedar has some amazing character.
Oh, and congrats on joining the Grandpa Club!  I hope to be a member too, someday.
