Curved Nightstand
23" wide - 20" deep - 30" tall
This is one of a pair of nightstands.
The legs, the curved panels and the top border are curly cherry.
The top is big leaf maple burl. The drawer pull is curly walnut.
The drawer is on ball bearing slides. The legs are turned and mortised
on the lathe and the slot for the panel ends is routed on the lathe with
the index head set over 1/24th from the mortise setting. The 1/2" thick
panels are glued up in a mold from four 1/8" layers. They are rabbited
using a jig on the shaper. This pair of small tables was an experiment
in combining curved panels with turned legs.
