Very cool, now I want one

Rather than fuming, a much easier and safer method to “age” oak is to use lye. Mix a teaspoon full in a pint of distilled water and paint it on with a sponge. (use rubber gloves) It will darken up within a few minutes to look like it is a century old. It looks totally natural because it is totally natural. It oxidizes the tannin in the wood the same as aging does. As with any caustic chemical, read and follow all safety measures.

-- The nicer the nice, the higher the price!

Like Jordan, I want one and I am sure if I show SWMBO, we will need two of them. Nicely done.

@ RJones
I’ve heard of floating shelves, but never a floating nightstand, this is definitely going on my to-do list!

@ BigTiny
Thanks for that tip about aging, I’ve been looking for something to give would an aged look and will have to try that out.

Thank you all for the kind words:) Newer, it’s on the heavy side for sure. I may be able to provide some generic plans if anyone is interested. If needed I could probably provide some templates for the side pieces as well for a small fee?

Nice design. I would like to see a small drawer on the bottom just to hold the clutter that ends up on night stands sometimes.

Big Tiny, great tip I will try that next time!!!

I like it ! Nice design.

I really like it, its a bit off the cuff being floating. The curves are nice n soft and the joints look really good. Well done for sure!

Unique project….Well done : )

-- When did quiet and quite become the same word ? I'm guessing about the same time as your and you're did.
