Greene inspired Night Stand #22: Top finished and Mounting Drawer Runners and Kickers

Scott, they look great, can’t wait to see the finished product, you should feel lots of satisfaction on a job well done.

Scott, this has been fun following the project as a blog series but I am sure that you will be glad when this project is completed. This is the stage that I generally feel the adrenaline start building and want to focus almost exclusively on the project just to finally get it done.

-- With God's help all things are possible- even woodworking. Woodworking is not just a hobby, it is an (expletive deleted) expensive hobby.

look beautiful!

Hey Scott
I really like the Greene n Greene style well done. Once the finish is applied that will make them even more outstanding. I wish I had a better understanding of sketchup. your sketch is good too.

Thanks guys.

Scott – I will be glad when this project is done. I have been very busy this winter. The pulls will probably take me some time though.

Abi – Shoot me a note when you come to Chico. We’ll figure out something to do.

Matt – There has been nothing to follow LOL

Stanley – Thanks. I’ll be looking you up for some ideas for lamps or lanterns to set on these at some point.

Jim – Thanks. The style is all about details. It is very difficult to get the proportions right and not over do it. There are a LOT of details in this piece and I tried to get each one as perfect as I am able.

Very nice. These are going to be amazing. How are you finishing them. A little green tint perhaps?

wow, looks fantastic! I’m usually not a big greene fan, but this one is elegant, and has a nice touch to it.

-- When in doubt - There is no doubt - Go the safer route.

Very nice. Excellent workmanship. Wow!!

-- Sharp tools and thin whispy shavings make woodworking a joy.

Hi Danr,

The splines are simply glued to the field side. There is no glue on the breadboard end. This allows the splines to move with the top and float in the breadboard slot.

You can find the details in Darrell Peart’s book “Greene & Greene : Design Elements for the Woodshop”
