Night Stand and Lamp

fantastic cabinet,I like the use of tin for the doors & spikes for the handles but for me its the sweeping marks of the sawblade on the sides that make this a winner!!!

The saw marks are brilliant. This make me think of an antique Asian piece. You have taken your own style and technique and with very little hardware made something that seems to scream TANSU! Great Job.

WOW! This is a great design. I love the saw marks! what are the panels made of? It almost looks like you stained the wood then sanded and stained again, but I think it is just the natural color of the saw lines. Which gives it great contrast. The Bat and Board on my house has heavy Circle saw marks I had the sawyer actually knock a couple of theeth out of line on purpose for a more dramactic effect, I love it.

I’m a big fan of authentic saw marks. They tell a story about the history of the wood.

The slight angles gives this design an organic feel and shows an Asian influence, or at least a respect for the wood as it is. The hardware is not overdone and adds real eye appeal.

I, too, see a tansu-like look for this piece.

Great job on the rustic! I know some shops around here that would buy those as fast as you could make them!

Very nice! It kind of has a little Green & green style mix into it. Great job.

I love the saw marks. Especially the circular saw marks in that wide panel… you don’t see that very often.

I really like that pc. What did you do with all your spare time from not sanding the project?
