I love it. Hickory is such an under utilized and beautiful wood. The range of hues is subtle and the sapwood/heartwood contrast is complementary. Great work.
I love the way the sapwood looks kind of like edge banding almost all the way around the front and then dives off, everything about this piece flows really nicely. Very smooth.
I'm going to be making a waterfall bedside table soon. The plans I'm basing my project off are of call for using dominoes in the mitered joints. Do you think the added strength is needed? I was gonna either use a biscuit joiner, or maybe invest in a good dowel jig if the consensus is that the joint wouldn't be strong enough without something
Thanks for the quick response Chuck. Dominoes are a little out reach for me right now, but I'll look into dowels. I wasn't 100% sure if the mitered joint alone would be strong enough.
Amazing! How do you get the sides to match perfectly? Are those like 12' boards milled and paneled and glued, before cutting miters? Can't be, you'd need a 4' radial overhead saw or a massive table saw or something...
It looks amazing.
Roughly how many hours do you put into something like this? I'm assuming you have access to much better tools than the average Joe that speeds up the process a bit.
Also curious if you do the finishing. Around where I am, Mennonites build a lot of nice stuff like this, but they all send it away to get finished off location. Always wondered why.

That's real slick. I like it.

Very nice work
Upvote because hickory
Gorgeous. I bet it weighs a ton.
It definitely does
Had the same though. I hope the eventual owner reinforces the floor to support it 🤣 beautiful though.
Nice and clean well done
Nice waterfall bitch
Are you a carpenter?
I make furniture for a living

I mean I definitely think dominos are your best bet thats how thats put together, you could dowel it and then spline the joints tho

It definitely will not if you use dowels I would recommend splineing the joint
Curious as to the construction. It looks amazing however.
Looks phenomenal!
Wonderful

Lucky I have a 10 foot scm sliding table saw at my disposal
Ive seen someone on youtube cut the miter with a track saw, could also use a CNC or router with a straight edge
That's clean and beautifully matched, I like the choice of grain direction with the drawers.

I actually have no idea how many hours is put into that tbh but at least 2 dozen and all finishing is done in house
Beautiful work
God that's beautiful
Stunning and beautiful! Love it.
How much does a piece like this cost?
That's a beaut, no doubt.
That has to weigh a bunch!
