Curvy Veneered Sidetable Curvy Veneered Sidetable Curvy Veneered Sidetable Click the pictures to enlarge them

I recently bought a vacuum bag kit so this is my first attempt at veneering. Being a bit crazy I thought I’d try laminating curved pieces at the same time. Thankfully it came out well. The sides are 3 layers of 6mm MDF and the shelves 2 layers, all veneered with cherry. The top and drawer front are solid cherry and the drawer box is dovetailed poplar.
I finished the piece with lacquer, spraying about 6 coats. After rubbing out it came up well.
The handle is a piece of black walnut and I just whittled away with a knife and rasps until this bowtie shape emerged.
I hope you like it,
Phil

I like it. I will check your Blog, to see what steps you took. I like hand-made handles so much better than the run-of-the-mill factory made things. Nice work.

Thanks, Gents! It came out well (thank goodness)
The weird thing is-I enjoyed making the handle and the top more than the rest of the project.
Thanks again,
Phil

Very nice piece, Phil. I know what you mean about carving the handle—those creative details are often the most fun part of a project.

Well done!

As much as I hate vaneer, this is an absolutely beautiful piece. Pushing yourself to the limit and vaneering a curved piece must had added to the reward. Great Job!

I am envious of you, this is a great job done here. Were you able to vacuum bag the curved items? Looks like that would be a bit hard to do. I love the bow tie.

What in the world am I doing on this site with people that have the talent that you and most of the other Jocks have.

I’m going back to “Capt.KangrooDrivesNails.com” where I am looked up to.

I would be embarrased to post any of my work here.

Looking through the “old posts”. Love this. Simple and classic with a twist.
