Not sure why I can't upload multiple images, but there's another one just like this. Added some transtint dye to two coats of shellac, then two coats of poly, sprayed on with an HVLP gun. In hindsight, there are a few changes I would make to my design to make them easier to build, but I'm happy overall (and so is my wife)

Why does the drawer front cover the legs?

The stretcher is a lazy half lap joint, and I didn't want to deal with clearance to fit the front between the legs.
