Floating Nightstands

[Michael Burnside]

Did you use the fluting toolpath with ramps to generate the carved texture on the drawer fronts?

Yea a mixture of texture toolpath with fluting overlays. Mill time was around 25 minutes per drawer.

Those look great, Michael. You are absolutely right about one offs being a huge time suck using the CNC. 95% design work, 5% milling. Except for those really cool drawer fronts, I bet you could have built them w/o the CNC in far less time.

Osmo, and Rubio Monocoat, look great on walnut and your cabinets are proof.

Yea, agreed. Part of me just wanted to try and since it was two pieces it seemed a good test. I really liked the Osmo but I’m still torn on if I prefer Rubio. Both were easy though.

Cheers.

With the floating nightstands, it sounds like you're starting a fascinating project! Custom furniture made with a CNC can be quite satisfying, but it does require careful preparation. It makes sense to start with a CAD drawing and take the mirrored design into account. Anticipating the culmination of your diligent efforts!
