This is the Aurora Nightstand designed by Darrell Peart. The plans are available on the internet, but I don’t recommend them except for overall dimensions. The material is African Mahogany and Ebony accents. Construction is loose tenon joinery with a water based dye and six coats of Arm-r-seal wiped on. The dye came out darker than I intended, must have been due to differences in my technique on the sample board and the finished nightstand.
This was a real challange with lots of new techniques. Now that it’s done, I can see more of the style in the future!

That is a very nice table. It has an interesting style, guess I have to check out Darrell Peart ;-)

Nice job on this table. I like all of the subtle effects of this style of furniture. I’ve found myself also, starting to incorporate these effects in my furniture. Thanks for the post.

There were some mistakes in the plans – for some reason the last round of corrections never made it in before publication. The corrections should be in the currently available plans.
If anyone else has bought the plans for this piece and are having problems email me at [email protected] and I will send you the corrections.

I’m not a fan of Greene and Greene, but that is a fine example of the style!
There are some interesting photos of some authentic Greene and Greene last months FWW (I think).....They show a LOT of ornamentation…..FWIW….
Great job!
