Brazilian Cherry Sideboard

Nice-looking table the design is very nice and you did good job on the box joints on the drawer. How wide is the top?

This is a nice table. The box joints and drawer pulls add interesting elements to the piece.

Thanks for the post.

Very pretty piece! How did you cut the box joints for the drawers-table saw fixture? router? by hand?
I’ve heard that Brazilian Cherry can be tough on cutting tools-did you find that to be the case?

Very nice looking piece. I too am curious how you found working with Brazilian Cherry was?

Love that Brazilian Cherry, just wipe on poly? Is it really that red without help Wow, it is gorgeous and the job you did on the top is fantastic. Got to get me some of this cherry [smile]

Thanks for the nice comments.
The top is 16-1/2” x 48. I cut the Box joints on the table saw.

The Brazilian cherry is very tough on the tools. I had to get the saw blade sharpened after the table was complete.

The finish was that red when it was first completed. It has darkened quite a bit since it was done. I like the color so much that I just installed a Brazilian Cherry hardwood floor in the dining room and great room.

Ampeater,

I agree with your comments about the bc hardwood floor. I put in about 1000 sq feet and went through two saw blades doing it. It is about double the hardness of white oak but it works well.

My wife likes to rearrange the furniture just for the sake of change. The first time she moved the family room furniture she was surprised to see the furniture shadows on the floor where light had not darkened the floor. BC is after all cherry and this is perfectly normal. Now she has an excuse to continually be moving the furniture in an attempt to even up the coloring of the floor.

Beautiful piece looking forward to seeing more of your work. Great job!

Nice work…it’s not the easiest wood to work with!
