This Mission-style chest is the primary inspiration used for design of the one I'm building. Mine will have two large drawers and two rows of smaller side-by-side drawers. This photo shows a chest made of stained oak. Mine will be mahogany.

Chest of Drawers project by Al Smith. This is a Stickley-style design (some would say Mission style but those are the same thing). Most photos show my chest at a stage before addition of drawer pull hardware. Note the wild variation in color and patterns for the mahogany I used. This has been my only disappointment with this project.
