Hi Everyone, It has been awhile since my last post, but here is a mission style sideboard that I made for a friend. Made of white oak which was supposed to be all quarter sawn, but did not all turn out to be quarter sawn. Lumber was very rough, a lot of knots and warped boards to cut around. I will be a lot more picky the next time I get quarter sawn white oak.
All in all I guess it didn’t turn out too bad. Our friend was very pleased with it.

Hopefully I will have another project to post soon.

Thanks.

Looks great, what kind of finish did you use? any stain? I haven’t done much with oak yet but like this light color and grain of the oak. Thanks

Looks great! Was this your own design, or did you work from a published plan? I would love to build one of these someday.

I’m building a bookshelf in mission style right now. I haven’t been able to find quarter sawn white oak here in Las Vegas. I went with rift sawn white oak plywood and standard white oak hardwood for mine. I’ll be posting my project as soon as it is finished.

Super sweet though, despite all of the lumber problems. You did just fine.

Thanks guys for all the comments. All of the joinery is mortise and tennion, for the color I put Dark Walnut Danish oil and the 5 coats of wipe on poly. First time I have used the dark walnut on oak and was very pleased, I think it is a great color for mission style.
