This was the first of all the arts and crafts style furniture I built, beginning exactly one year ago. It started my life in a whole new direction. The basic plans I found online, and added the lower shelf and plate rack. Hardware is Stickley reproduction I found at Rockler. It was after this project that I invested in a hollow chisel mortiser. Once again the case is Quarter-saw Red Oak.

Stunning. The QS oak is just amazing.
Well done!

Fantastic job on the sideboard. That stock has a lot of figure for red oak, nice looking stuff. I like the plate rack, that is a nice touch.

Very nice looking sideboard. It looks an awfull lot like mine.
Mine is QSWO, I designed it with sketchup, taking details from several others I’ve seen.

Any time you have a door inside a frame your accuracy level stress goes up, looks like you handled that quite well. I really like the overall look of you very well made project.
I see a RAS in the background, have you thought about retiring that unit and getting a sliding saw? – I cannot think about doing any crosscut without my Makita 1013LS, I have been using mine all day today, and am so thankful I made the switch.

Very nice job, Phil. I don’t use quartered red oak much, but I think it has better ray flake than the white oak. Arts and Crafts style is my favorite. It gives you a lot of latitude in designing furniture that’s true to the style. Thanks for the post.
