Bedroom Side Tables

Nice job Dave, great looking tables.

I really like these! Nicely done. My only objection are the drawer pulls. The tables have an arts and crafts feel to them that the pulls detract from.

These are great looking little tables!!

I can see a bit of Shaker influence in the tapered legs and the type of top.

Beautufil side tables. a nice design and good build.

Sweet project but I too am unsure of the knobs but hey who am I to comment. The finish is fantastic and the use of dovetails that were not in the plan sets this off from the original. Very simple yet elegant.

Hi Dave, Lovely tables. I love the simplicity. What kind of wood did you use?

Thanks,
John

Hey John -
The tables are cherry -

As for the knobs – certainly some chin scratching there, most of the hardware in the house is the antique bronze coloring. I think in keeping more shaker, a turned cherry knob (facegrain) may have a bit better continuity.
Hey this is why we post stuff – get others thoughts, since after working on it for a while, we can get a little too close to our work and miss the forest for the trees.

Hi Dave, very classic, simple, timeless design. I like that.
Thanks, Elin

Nice job Dave. I really like this design. Have to make a couple for my daughter. I have Wood magazine but I don’t recall which issue this was. Can you tell me? Save me some digging. Thanks.

I like the apron curves. It makes the tables look less boxy without distracting from the beautiful grain. Thanks for the inspiration.

-- Life is about choices. You can spend a lot of money on furniture and have really nice furniture; Or you can spend a lot on tools and have even more expensive, crappy furniture. I made my choice.

Those are some beautiful tables.
