A bow on the front waistband and tasteful and attractive lace around
the legs.

A standard drawer, no frills, nothing at all for the box. Nice joints,
varnish.

That depends on the intended use... for most drawers in solid wood
construction nothing but wax on the outside so it glides on the case/guides.
In situations where there is a good chance that the contents will snag
(e.g., knitting, lingerie, etc.) I use dust panels and finish all surfaces
with shellac, sanded smooth, and rubbed out with wax. For utility drawers
made from construction grade sheet goods and installed on slides,
polyurethane to basically glue the surface and edges together.

Either shellac, or no finish at all.
Finish a drawer with anything containing oil, and it will be *years* before the odor goes away.

Outside, lacquer usually.
Inside, oil usually. I've never noticed an odor once dry.
