This is a sideboard made from walnut with lots of sapwood and spalted maple for the drawer fronts and doors panels.
Mostly pocket hole joinery. This was the first time I made raised panel doors but after the third fudge up on which pieces to cut, I final got it down pat.
Dimensions of the top are 18×42…no plans on this one – just went from the fly by the one that is in our dining room.

Very nice, I like the incorporation of the sap wood blends well with the the spalted maple drawer fronts and door panels. Not alot of people use the sap wood most would cut it out instead of using it. To me it adds to the character of the wood and piece. Well done!!!!

This is a beautiful sideboard. I enjoy seeing sapwood incorporated into a piece of furniture since it adds a nice contrast to the appearance of the wood. Putting the spalted maple on the doors and drawers adds another nice piece of visual interest to it.
Nice job.

Real pretty. What makes it, for me, is the low shelf. Something about proportion, or that it comments on, or defines the rest of the piece. Those top surface boards are unique and well placed. Very appealing. Be proud.

Yes, yes, yes! Distinctive and well executed. I like working with walnut, even though it can be bloody awkward.

I like you design and work.
I am working of a design of a sideboard for my daughter. I forwarded her a picture of yours and she liked the general design so we may copy some of your work.
I have one comment on your execution. I would have run the grain on the doors horizontal. The vertical grain pattern appears to conflict with the the over all design.
