Linnen press Eldred Wheeler inspiration
I made is what 30 years ago? Mostly hand made. Crown and feet hand made. Dovetail carcass and drawer by hand. Kinda my passing the grade project. No plans. All solid tiger maple. Secondary wood poplar. No progress pics to show.
Drawer has no slides. Just fitted.
Finish shellac French polish rubbing.
Raised panels done on a jig I made for the router table, with a long straight bit.
No room for error on the feet. I only had so much material. Lots of hours in all of this. I still have the screed board i made (jig) to check the sanding of the feet someplace .
Wheeler had a shop in CT. We could not afford to buy. So I made.
Comments welcome

Figuring out how to do something you have never done is what makes a good challenge.

Looks like it has lasted, tribute to good craftsmanship. Besides that it looks good. Like the wood and the finish. Well done.

Very nice job!
Beautiful piece, love that maple.
Like you, in the early days we couldn't afford any new furniture and I had no shop nor any WW ability. So, we hit the antique shops and used furniture stores. I learned to restore and refinish, and still have a couple of those pieces.
