Night Tables

A pair of night tables. Cherry. Curved front.


Hand-rubbed oil/poly finish. No stain. The colour is actually quite a bit richer than this photo shows. It's the lighting in the photograph.

The picture below shows one of the tables now in use at its new home in a bookstore. This shows the colour as it really appears.

The curved drawers are a little tricky, but worth the effort. The secret is to cut the dovetails while the drawer front is still rectangular, then cut the curves. The inside curve is cut so that it misses the dovetails. This allows the dovetails to come together at a 90 degree angle. The other way is to cut angled dovetails, which is much more difficult.
