NOTE: Hardwood lumber sizes are provided as a base for your own calculations.
Individual boards vary in appearance and defects, which may affect your cutting
layout. Also, leftover scraps can often be reglued and used for other parts.
*We used a fast-drying polyurethane clear satin finish.
A striking combination of beauty and practicality, this lingerie chest displays a time-
less elegance that will ensure its place as a family heirloom. Its clean lines, sturdy con-
struction and simplicity of design make it a natural for almost any decor.
The chest features seven large drawers designed for lingerie, fine knits and other del-
icate articles of clothing. Its generously sized top makes an ideal display surface for
fresh flowers or photographs.
The lingerie chest measures about 27 inches wide by 17 inches deep by 59 inches tall.

NOTES
1. Read manufacturer’s instructions
before operating equipment.
2.
Always
wear safety glasses.
3. We used maple for this project,
but oak, pine or birch will work
equally well.
