I built this for my son and daughter-in-law. There is a matching coffee table partially completed in the shop now.
It held a bunch of 1st for me, 1st time using a dye, 1st drawer and 1st time using a router to cut my mortises (much easier).
Made of QSWO with all mortise and tenon construction. They wanted a darker stain then I had done before so that is where the dye came in. I mixed 1/3 brown mahogany and 2/3 dark walnut. Then on top of that a coat red chestnut stain. It turned out pretty good and I am pleased with the finished project.

Great looking project. Mighty fine for your first time. Pretty satisfying isn’t it?
I’m sure the son will treasure this for years to come.

Fantastic job! I really think the color looks great, even thoughI usually like lighter finishes.

Nice. On my list to build. Did you work from plans or did you develop your own plans?

Thanks for all the comments. Charlie I have to agree with you, I too prefer a lighter stain. Especially when using QSWO. But, they were set on having it darker so that’s what they got. They are very pleased with it. My son mentioned how much he liked the color multiple times. Gary to answer your question, I worked from a plan purchased from Woodcraft Magazine. The design was done by Jim Probst, you should check out his web site at probstfurniture.com. Thanks for asking the question. I try to give credit where credit is due and these were great plans.
