Curly Cherry Nightstands

[Mark Johnson]

I'm building some nightstands to go with the bed build completed earlier this year. Here are a couple of shots with the carcasses assembled. Drawer fronts will be highly figured, but have to make a material run before I can go any further. The scrollsaw butterfly in the dust panel was just an excuse to practice and up close it looks like I need the practice. However, where it is located precludes close inspection so it will work out fine. Similar butterfly will be in several of the drawer backs just as an unexpected surprise.

Looks like you are off to a great start. Keep us posted when you’re finished.

I'm loving the build progress but the butterfly especially. That's going to light up someone's eyes for years to come.

Well done!

Look forward to seeing more pictures as the work progresses.

will the butterfly be easy to see? or will that be a surprise some day for someone removing the drawer? Great job! That's beautiful!

The butterfly will purely be a surprise for someone when they fully remove the drawer.

Very cool! I love surprises like that!
