Project Information
Just completed this sideboard - a request from my brother-in-law and his wife. Dimensions are 60"W x 36"H x 20"D. Constructed of QSWO, with the interior/back in leftover redwood and barn wood. The drawers are #1 pine. Hardware was purchased from houseofantiquehardware.com.
The design is my own variation of Stickley's classic craftsman furniture designs.
Finish was a 5:2 mix of oil-based Minwax Red Mahogany and English Walnut. This was followed by a sealcoat of clear shellac. Then I applied oil-based Minwax ebony stain as a glaze, rubbed it into the wood pores with a stiff brush, and wiped it off to simulate the black wax used by Stickley. Finally I applied three coats of lacquer.
Thank you for looking.
