I don’t get to post much these days since six months ago I retired from my day job and started teaching high school woodshop. Turns out riding heard on high schoolers is tiring!
I’ve always been a big fan of Garrett Hack’s work. I really like the simple shaker like lines of his projects and the way he adds details that really catch your eye. I wanted to build his sideboard for a long time and finally got around to it. I was motivated by discovering a stash of spalted maple that I thought would be ideal for some highlight panels. I hadn’t planned on posting the build so don’t have pictures of the initial carcass construction here’s a couple shots that show the carcass assembled with the spalted maple panels on the side and also on an internal shelf.
I really got lucky with the walnut I glued up for the tabletop. Here’s some pics of surfacing/dimensioning. One of the subtle details of Hack’s design is very slight curve to the top along both sides and front.
