Ebonized Ash/Sapele Nightstand

Very nice looking. What did you use to do the ebonizing?

Thanks, I used Solar-Lux jet black since this was a prototype….If it was important, I would have used india ink….

Couple more details in my blog entry: http://lumberjocks.com/jocks/TheCaver/blog/3685

The black dye is a nice choice. grain shows thru and contrasts the drawer sides,

The ebonized ash does set up a nice contrast with the drawers. The sapele is gorgeous. I really like its grain and color.

Thanks for the post.

Really nice desk – I like the coloring and finish on this one. The dovetails add a lot of detail to a simple looking desk (and I mean simple looking in a good way). Nice project.

This is really a nice desk. The craftsmanship is obvious.

Very nice looking piece. Are the dovetail’s machine cut? If so, what jig do you use?

I think it looks great. like the contrast and the top is awesome. Great job.

Thanks for the kudos, though after building it, I decided that I really didn’t like the design, but oh well, the wife likes it….

As for the dovetails, I used a Leigh Super Jig…..Half blinds on the front and Miller dowels for the rear….
