This is a little Shaker bedside table for my sister-in-law’s new house. She really like simple clean lines and like painted furniture. With this in mind and a tight deadline, I built this table out of construction grade pine I had floating around the shop. Amazing how nicely this “low quality” lumber finishes up. The drawer is rabbetted with Miller dowells in Walnut for support.
Finish is black paint with 2 topcoats of Polyacrylic and a final rub down with Renaissance Wax. I chose the knob for the Japanese Chrysanthemum motif.

Really nice table. I like this style and have built several similar designs. I never painted any though, and yours looks great!

I really like it. Since I am practicing my skills, I’m into using construction grade wood… like, why mess up expensive stuff? Anyway, I’ve had success painting… and your project confirmed that nice looking work will result.

Very Japanese. Place it against the wall below a nice Hokusai print. Set a small ikebana arrangement on top. Simple and elegant.
