Nightstands and Chiffonier


The next pieces I made (with help) were a chiffonier, and 2 nightstands.  They are also red oak with an espresso stain, same as the bed.  The upper right picture shows the number of clamps needed to glue up the piece.  It was a difficult piece, but turned out very nice. Because red oak has such a deep grain, it takes a dark stain very well.

I think I made these while I was unemployed, b/c well, I had lots of spare time, and we wanted some new furniture.
