Made this night stand to go with the one a client brought me. Made of Walnut with secondary woods of maple, pine. Had to strip the original and finish them together and try to get them as close as possible. Might be off a little bit but the client was very pleased so guess it was close enough.

Mike is understating the workmanship.
I looked both of them over VERY closely while visiting yesterday. The reproduction is nicer than the original. Color match is very good and the finish is clean. He used better joinery on the frames. The inside curve edge profile on the bottom is hand cut to match the original.
It's a fine piece!

Honestly Honey, that will cost around $100 $150 $200, and I need a few more tools. 
Heard from a client..."If I had your tools and experience...I could do it myself" 
"Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind."

Nice job! I sure am glad you pointed out which was the original and reproduction. I wouldn't have been able to tell.

Striking reproduction Mike 
Didn't know you were a turner. You clearly have mastered all the skills of a craftsman.
