Project Information
Wood And Materials Used
Black walnut, wenge, figured hard maple, poplar.
I finally finished the bedside table my wife has been waiting on forever. This is the first of two, the other going on my side of the bed.
This piece was adapted from a design by Mike Pekovich. I made a dresser some time ago that is identical in construction and design but of much larger proportions. Its frame and back panels are of black walnut. The side panels, top, and drawer fronts are rendered in wenge. The drawer sides are figured maple. The drawer bottoms, guides, and runners are made from poplar.
I finished it with a sealer coat of a 1 pound cut of shellac, then followed by two coats of Minwax Tung Oil Finish, and then a coat of wax. The wood was dimensioned using power tools, but the joinery and surface prep were done with hand tools.
