Drawer fronts


The flow of the front of the piece is in question here- if you look at antiques you will see a use of the wood grain patterns to balance the front of a chest of drawers, over and down, over and down and so on. I like the flow of the curved grain, ying~yang a bit with the top curving right and around and the bottom curving up, these patterns will be very dominant when the finish is applied, and the grain is of course part of the flitch of curly walnut used for the rest of the piece, all the elements will flow and look harmonious if done right.
