A handmade home for woodworkers and admirers of woodworkers. Our community icon is submitted by @inquanto@lemmy.world, winner of the Christmas 2025 gift contest with a lovely series of hardwood cutting boards.
In cherry. It's mostly a copy of one my parents have, though they requested replacing three drawers with a swing door and movable shelves.
Cherry is good. Hardwood, but without the brittle of the higher janka rated woods. It also has that lovely color when oiled. Nice work.
It has been nice to work with.
Well done!
Really nice looking. What did you do with the interior?
Edit: just saw the description about the shelves. Nice!
They're maple plywood with a cherry nosepiece glued on, held on shelf pins set in 1/4" holes drilled in the side stiles. It's actually a pretty simple little cabinet.
Congrats on finishing one nightstand!
That's lovely!
Thank you!
Looks great! How did you join the panels at the corners?
Butt joints with biscuits.
