Cherry with tiger maple drawer fronts. Finished with "tung oil finish" (Minwax)

The drawer sides as sides was a first and maybe last for me. Very finicky IMHO.

Very nice! The contrast between the cherry and maple is good now, it
should be spectacular in a few years.

It's nice to see someone let wood be wood, without staining it to look
like some other wood or.... egads!..... painting it. :-) And I like the
wood drawer handles... they appear to be going through the fronts...
nice illusion.

It's almost a shame to have black plastic electronics on it, huh?

Sounds like it's time for hardwood veneer to hide some of that plastic... We
need a magazine article on that. ;~)

Nice design. Nice work. Nice pics.

Yeah the no-sides drawer sides seesm kind of gimmicky when I see it proposed on designs but I think it works 100% in this design. Best use of that feature I have seen. Maybe the fact that it is a short stack of drawers makes it less prominent anmd just a nice addition of interest.

I also like that you featured sap lines on the lower FF rail. I love incorporating such character components of wood, especially ones that are so defining. Only Cherry has this feature.

Yep, I agree.

I thought so, too, on both your observations (proposal and results). As I read your reply, I did recall Singer and other makers having sewing machine cabinets with exposed drawer sides on some of their treadle machine cabinets. Those looked well coordinated and nice in/with that overall cabinet design, also. Not gimmicky, at all. Another key point you've made is "short stack". Many more drawers might not look as good. I wonder if the sewing machine companies tried a number of drawers and found 3 drawers max weas the "limit". A consideration: limited to/for a particular size of drawers?

Yes, but as long as my kids don't destroy it within a few years I can tolerate the black plastic

Very nice! The contrast between the cherry and maple is good now, it

should be spectacular in a few years.

Thank you. It's kind of near a window so that should help speed things along too.

Sweet. And you built it wide enough to accommodate the 70" flat panel I saw at Sam's Club the other day. Less than $1,700 -- which is about what I spent on the 50".

Very, very nice. Maybe you could...

a) set up a UV light source for a week or sog

b) get a faux finish kit and do a nice wood grain on that television.
Not sure how to handle the LCD screen thoughg

What was your major pain/concern with the drawer sides. Whatever they
are/were, as others have said, you carried it off nicely.
