This bedside table was created in 2006 of 1st semester senior year of high school. I wanted to experiment with using a combination of woods in different patterns to create a very visually interesting piece of furniture. It is connected with wooden dowels for the box and all pieces are glued together, no seperation after almost a year and a half.
used Walnut, Oak, Cherry, Poplar, Willow, Pine, and 3 little strips of Mahogany.

Hi Steve,
This certainly is a busy table. It is unique and all the different woods give it a distinctive flair. I see projects like this and am amazed that there are high school programs generating this type of quality. You experienced a strong foundational start to your woodworking journey and it has helped mold you into the craftsman you are today.
Thanks for showcasing some of your early work.

Steve, very nice combination of various woods, also like how you hinged the top for a compartment. Very pleased to have the priviledge of viewing your projects. Keep up the good thought process that you’ve developed, you have been able to unlock a very special talent. Look forward in your future projects and creations. Your brother in woodworking John

This is a unique design. I would have some concerns about wood movement in the top. However, since it has survived a year and half with no issues, it will likely be fine. Thanks for sharing a great project!
