I am looking for feedback on some design experimentation I have done on two versions of a simple nightstand. I find that although I think my instincts generally lead me in the right direction, input from others is very useful. I would like an honest assessment of two pieces, one vs the other, and how they work in general.
Last August, I completed my first real piece of furniture, a nightstand A:
A Front (644 x 483).jpg
Just today I finished another similar nightstand. I decided not to make it identical to the first, but wanted to play with design features.
B Front (644 x 483).jpg
The most obvious is the use of curly maple in B instead of wavy maple in A.
A Side (483 x 644).jpg B Side (483 x 644).jpg.
The overall effect is that B is deeper and darker (like an older wiser guy), while A is like a little kid. The next post will show more detail differences.
More details in my next post....
