Sideboard from Pine

Nothing wrong with pine! The sideboard looks great! Can’t wait to see what you can build when you get your hands on some hard wood.
thanks for posting

Looks like a future heirloom piece to me. Sometimes its not the wood itself, but the relationship you grow with the piece as it comes together, and this one came together beautifully. Nothing wrong with pine at all.

Nice little sideboard.

You sure put a great finish on that pine. Your wife should be proud. Thanks for sharing.

-- My favorite piece is my last one, my best piece is my next one.

Great job !

I can’t get over how fast you moved from planning to the finished project, very well done, congratulations!

Thanks for the replies…

I have nothing against pine… I just would have preferred to build this with a hardwood. Pine is a bit soft with small children running around LOL.

Thank you Trifern for your compliment on the finish… coming from you it means a lot.

Pat, I thought I was moving slow on it honestly LOL… I had 2 weeks at sea in the time I built it.

Nice work. I hope my wife doesn’t see this post. It has Honeydo written all over it!

One question: how is the trestle/shelf attached to the legs?

-- "Bordnerizing" perfectly good lumber for over a decade.

That’s great, I returned from 1.5 weeks in Japan, in town for two days, made an emergent repair trip to Pearl last week and have a meeting in LA in two days….so my shop time has been very limited…..but you know the drill ;o)

Hey Robert
Your project looks great I really like the design , every one is not a David Marks or a woodwhisper were they can afford the most exotic woods available. You did what our fore fathers have done ,you had a need, you got the material most available to you and built your sideboard with your best skills. Who could ask for more.

Not a big pine fan myself….until now! Second the kudos on the finish.

Douglas, The bottom shelf is attached with stretchers going between the legs… i put it close to the inside of the leg so it wouldn’t be visible unless you actually got down and looked.

Great job – very impressive. Thanks for sharing.

For those that didn’t see it… this is my sketchup rendition I did before building this… it came out a bit different than the drawing, but does anything ever go exactly as planned? :)

Nice sideboard! I think the pine looks beautiful.

Very nice job…I know others have already complimented you on the finish but, I have to say the finish looks really good. I also think it is nice to see a project that is built of inexpensive materials. Being a novice woodworker myself…sometimes it can be a bit intimidating to break out the expensive woods on a project when your not quite sure of your skill level.
