After being married for 32 years, I finally got around to making the wife a pair of night stands. I have made many other pieces for around the house, just nothing for the bedroom.:o
The first photo is one of the two pieces, the carcasses are solid cherry, bun feet are turned cherry also. Bail pulls are antique rustic red. Finish is Pennsylvania Cherry gell followed by one coat of pale shellac, then glazing for color blending, then a top coat(3) gloss lacquer, sprayed.
The second and third photos show the drawer construction, fronts are all half blind dovetails, backs are through dovetails. The drawer boxes are made of hickory. The last two photos show the drawers just proud of the carcass by about 1/8 inch(by design:) ). Drawer fronts were chamfered on all four sides. Moldings were all made for this project, no store bought.
Thanks for looking.
