Night Stand

Kerry that is really, really nice! Great design, nice curves, the finish looks great, too. Top notch!

-- Just another woodworker

That’s just beautiful.

-- If at first you don't succeed, try again. Then quit. No use being a darn fool about it.

Nice work Kerry!
I like the design! Got any plans you want to share! :-)

Very nice work. Your design worked out very nice. I like the proportions and the mix of draw sizes. The sweep of the legs gives it nice movement. Love it.

That’s cool. I like the continuation of the grain on the top two sets of drawers.

this is SO gorgeous.
Love the design; love the colour; love the drawers.. Beautiful

Wow! I want a set of these bad boys. Nicely done!

Beautiful design and execution!

At first I thought it was one of David Marks ideas. (He seems to favor those curves.) After reading though I see it’s “your” plan…and a good one at that. This is a real sharp lookin’ piece.

-- Bob Vila would be so proud of you!

Kerry,
I like the curves, and the slide out is a fantastic idea. I’ve only done a few draws, why are the sides shorter than the front? Is it functional, or simplify construction?
Thanks!

Very nice design, beautiful finish. mike

Kerry, Excellent lines and style, and love the red alder. Great job with the finish. Just one question…the pulls, Walnut??

-- Jim Hallada, Newport News, VA, soon to be Chesterfield, VA

Thanks folks, I appreciate the encouragement.

Topapilot – in order to split the top drawers into left and right drawers, I had to add a couple of cross pieces and a vertical piece to mount the drawer runners onto. The extra height of the top drawers and the middle drawer is there to hide those cross pieces. I have a few construction pics for this that might show it better than I can explain. I thought I might try starting a blog on this site and put some pics in there.

Critterman – thanks; the pulls are African blackwood.

Cheers,
Kerry

Grat project Kerry. Welcome to Lumberjocks.

Kerry,

That is a really nice project. The curves make this a one-of-a-kind piece of furniture. The drawers are nicely dovetailed as well. Welcome to LJs. I am sure you will find this to be a rewarding experience.

-- With God's help all things are possible- even woodworking. Woodworking is not just a hobby, it is an (expletive deleted) expensive hobby.

I agree with those above . . . nice work . . . the curves really set it off.

Im sorta stuck in the 90s and 45s.

-- The significant problems we face cannot be solved by the same level of thinking that created them

Beautiful design and shape! You adapted that design well. Really nice proportions. I’ve worked with red alder before and I really like it. Great job.

-- Dust collectors suck.

Absolutely stunning! I love those organic lines…favorited!

-- Living on the square...

Very sharp design, great workmanshp.

-- Bob A in NJ

What a wonderful piece of furniture. Everything about it appears well thought out and executed professionally. I hope I can one day be able to produce something that nice. Well done.

-- It's not that a craftsman never makes mistakes, he just makes it look like it.

That’s a beautiful piece of furniture. I really like the lines and the finish looks first class.

Love the nightstand. Everything about it just clicks!

I’m loving this Kerry. The sliding shelf is a great idea.

-- I've cut that board three times and it's still too short!

The curved lines are magnificent, the shelf is a really nice touch, I have one in the nightstand, it is a great place to put that beverage of choice.

-- Marge, Colorado

Beautiful work. I find the shapes and proportions very apealing. I have book marked it for inspiration.
