Night stand with hinged top, Nov 2021
Built this for my wife for Christmas but ended up giving it to her for Nikolaus (generally kids get candy and such, 6 Dec celebration of Saint Nicholas in Europe) . Jatoba and maple with balsa panel sides and back. Splines also maple, Hinged top.
The jatoba finishes very nicely
Finished with danish oil only. 3 or 4 coats with sanding in between. The top re-sanded after swelling at one side.
This swelled at the top edge of the maple block and needed to be sanded again. After 2 weeks the wood acclamated to house humidity.
Not sure how much this compartment will be used, but there it is.
Unfinished front with drawer and door mounted
Raw after glue up front panel blank.
Corpus without drawer, door or inside paneling.
