This is a nightstand I was commissioned to make to be a copy of the one they already have. It was to be made of oak with maple stain. I built it with solid sides and top and dovetailed the drawer bodies and used self closing full extension slides. Front frame is joined with pocket screws as is the attachment of the top. I found the exact pulls at a place called ahturf.com which is where I bought the Accuride slides.
The last picture is of the stand I copied for dimensions.

Great job I like it, but if it is a maching set why the dovetail and different sliders?

Jim, You do a grand job on everything you do… I am positive that the person this is for will appreciate this piece of furniture. This is not only a replica of the other one but is of better quality. Another beautiful job!

Thanks for sharing

Hi G Man. It is not a matching piece. She wanted one like it and gave me this one to copy. I told her I only dovetail drawers and always use ball bearing slides and she said Okay. She said the original was made by the Amish in Michigan, but everything I’ve seen by the Amish has dovetailed drawers and BB slides.
I don’t like returns for any reason!

You did a nice job on this; I’m sure your client was pleased.

Beautiful work Jim.
I do not understand how you find the hours, it is simply amazing how much you can manage to get done.
As always also a beautiful finish.
They must be really happy my friend,
