These drawer faces are certainly not lap glued, but are one solid piece of cherry milled to shape.  

The dresser is starting to come together. Dry fitted all the brass hardware.  Drawers and doors are all very tight fitting for now.  final plane fitting to be performed still.  Top boards yet to be made. 

Still have a long way to got on the Newport Shells.  The changing in grain direction while carving is what makes this item one of the most challenging for furniture makers.   

Finished up with the dovetails.  These drawers would function just fine for many years without any glue in the joints what so ever. 

The dresser carcus glued up and squared.

My half blind dovetails are progressing. The Leigh D24 dove tail jig, which I have, cannot make the old-time skinny pins as shown.  If you want this look, you must learn to do them by hand.
