Huntboard Project

This is an excellent work! Great job Rich.
I like the finish colour.

Very well executed, I love it!!! Did you hand cut the half blinds or use a jig? Oh well no matter they look great,you must be very proud.

I used the Porter Cable dovetail jig for the drawers. I also used it for the sliding dovetail for the back panel on the drawers. It takes a while to set that up so that they are tight but still easy enough to slide together. The front top rail had hand cut blind dovetails into the top of the legs. Fortunately, they don’t show!!! The center stiles had a wedged tenon into the top rail. Really a tight joint.
The sides and back use splines in the middle panel to allow them to “float” for expansion and contraction. The plans called for a bead along the edges of the floating panels, and I added a lacewood inlay there to accent the bead.
The little wife was pleased, so I am pleased. You never feel perfectly comfortable with a project. You know where all the little imperfections are, but all in all I was happy with the finished product.
Thanks for the comments and support!

Looks really nice, I’d like to build one of these when I get a chance.

I agree with you Rich about the imperfection. No matter how little imperfection is, even the hiden one, we would not feel comfortable with the moment it happens. But over times, that feeling slowly fades away!

Thanks

Nicely executed!

Am I allowed to mention that nothing is kept in this hunt board? :) It’s prettier in person.

Really nice piece. This is on my list of things to build in the near future.
