Gentleman's Dresser
Quartersawn white oak and Craftsman design elements combine to create this handsome addition to any room’s décor.
If there’s a piece of furniture that stands proud with a look of masculinity, it’s this dresser. The beefy, solid-wood construction plus, features like the door grids and plugs that simulate through-tenons, creates a stately example of fine furniture. Classic woodworking joinery makes this project manageable in your shop with basic power tools. The case is made with frame and panel construction on the sides, doors, and back. This theme continues inside with the web frames and divider. Strong tongue and dado joinery is reinforced with screws to lock everything together into a solid unit. Inside the great-looking cabinet, you’ll find plenty of storage with adjustable shelves and a pair of pull-out trays. Details like opaque stained glass and Craftsman-style hardware make this piece stand out in any room of your home.

Similar Woodsmith Plans
Imperial Plans
The United States Customary System of Units (USCS or USC), more commonly referred to as the English or Imperial system, is the standard set of units for our plans. It uses inches and feet for measurement. This is the one you probably want if you are in the United States, and it is the one we have traditionally offered on this website.
Metric Plans
The International System of Units (SI), more commonly referred to as the metric system, is the alternative set of units that we have available for some of our plans. It uses millimeters, centimeters, and meters for measurement. This is the one you probably want if you are outside the United States. These plans are provided by our business partner, Australian Woodsmith, and are based on the original Woodsmith plan. However, dimensions and other elements of the plan may vary between the metric and standard versions. Be sure to double-check the plan before building.
Premium Plans
All of the information that you need to build our plans can be found in the standard plan. However, if you want even more granular detail to make your job easier, you should consider our premium plans. These come with additional shop diagrams that we drew when creating the prototypes. Shop drawings are not available for every plan.
