Pine Bedside Table

With a special drawer..
358048
Just pine boards
358049
Wide dovetail to hide the groove for the bottom panel.
358050
Modified an old finial for the knob. Outside corners of each leg has a bead
358051
As does the bottom edges of the aprons.
358052
About 90% hand tool work. Legs are tapered on the two inside faces, with a couple hand planes.

About $30 in lumber. Oh, and that special drawer?
358053
A "secret" compartment, to stash stuff. If you open the drawer like a normal drawer the front "back" shows things like a regular drawer....you have to open the drawer all the way, to access the stash of cookies...:rolleyes:

Nice job. I like the beading.

Is there anything to make opening the drawer to reveal the secret compartment require a little extra effort?

Just the distance to travel pulling the drawer open...when someone is in a hurry. They will come to the false back, and stop. And look elsewhere.
