For last Christmas I promised my daughter and her husband a set of bedside
tables. I finished these several months ago and am finally getting around
to posting them.

I don't see curly cherry very often, but when I found one piece with very
pretty curl in the stack a couple years ago, I put it aside for just the
right project. This was the project. The carcass, drawer front and doors
are curly maple, the legs and drawer pulls are cherry, and the top is the
curly cherry piece that I had stored away. The door fronts are resawn and
bookmatched and ganged together as a single door although they appear as
double doors. The finish is oil and wax with shellac inside the carcass and
drawers.

They were very pleased with them and they were fun to do.

The tops and fronts of these tables are stunning. Good job.

Great figure, and a great job popping it!

Very nice Bob.

Umm...
would you consider adoption? I'd love to have a set of tables that nice! J/K
That wood is so full of light. It's no wonder that you saved it for
something special.
