Oak Nighttable

I like It great job. I like the natural look. did you seal It? Is this your design? thanks!

This is a very creative design. Very well done

Very nice job. In the pictures it looks like at least 4/4 oak. I bet that little beauty is heavy.

Nice job on this has some real interest and character! Surprised it didnt sell.

Thanks for your kind words!

@B13 i left it unsealed, i’m always scared i liked it the way it was before i poilished it:) i designed it, but i don’t really have a plan ahead, i like seeing it develop step by step..

@steliart Thanks! i try my best

@ woodsman Thank you, i’m not sure what its in inches, but it is about 25mm thick. And yes its pretty heavy for such small thing ;). It does look more solid than it really is..

Hi Ken, Thank you!

yes, i put it on our national ’’ebay’’ got 2 people interested, but i think they wanted it for nothing.
I found it hard finding people who are really fond of it, so i feel its in good hands:)
I think i will keep this one as a blueprint, if i ever make another one..

Nice piece, I can see why maybe it would not sell though. It’s very nice but would take a very specific decor / style room to fit in. Something like this is usually special order. Maybe if it was a pair, you might have had more interest. I think finding the right buyer for a piece like this takes more time than others would. In the end maybe “you” did not want it to sell. ;) A good excuse to keep it for yourself. :)

your’e 100% right Rex:) thanks for the advice,
it’s hard making pieces wich you put so much into, trying to sell them, and maybe never seeing it again.
When you get a friend asking you to make him something it’s much easier taking distance from it.
Somehow you get more attached when there’s nobody your’e doing it for.
I’ll will take your advice and make him a twinbrother soon :)

Definitely interesting and unique. I like the mask? in one of your pictures also. Did you do that one?

Thanks so much LittlePaw, i red your story on your page very interesting. I like carving alot too:)

Wish i did the mask, bought it :) it’s supposed to come from Nigeria. Where she went on a holiday once. There’s alot of detail in it. The woman who sold it to me told me the mask was made to scare of evil spirits and demons..

I really like the design. I’d have to use a router and chisel to do the drawer fronts, because whatever a “jizzle” is, it sounds illegal here.

I LIKE IT. It has a unique style. I like that at first galnce it looks like it has four drawers, but then I noticed the fifth one on the bottem. It has a nice heavy look to it. Is that the reason for the handles?

Hi Darrel

funny you say that, i decided to keep the 5th drawer decorative :) it’s not what it seems.
I did like the idea of a drawer there, but thought well.. i have 4 now, it’s enough.
The handles i thought would give it something extra. And to carry him.
Wasn’t to sure about putting them on. But i think it worked out..

Another awesome piece! I love whatever that style is and all your nice molding/shaping touches. I would recomend putting a clear finish on the top at least (having learned this the hard way). You could always get SATIN poly which wouldn’t be that noticable. Just would hate to see that great piece marred. ;o)
