Congrats! Will you put some legs underneath it? I've noticed that flat furniture sometimes end up unbalanced since the floor is often uneven

It's got a small square base now that makes it look like it's floating.

Thanks, I got put on the spot first lesson so I found a bunch of details I liked and smoothed them together.

Super! What kinds of wood?

Drmickhead667@lemmy.fmhy.ml · 5 pts · 3y

Queensland maple for the body and jarra for the supports.

Mitered dovetails?

Drmickhead667@lemmy.fmhy.ml · 2 pts · 3y

Dovetails we're in the drawer box, I thought I could upload two photos but only one came through. Still learning how this is different to Reddit.

That’s pretty dang slick!

Very cool, I've not seen anything like it before. I love maple, I find it to be at least as beautiful as the various endangered tropical woods.

This is gorgeous! I love the colors and the contrast. It's just the right amount of interesting haha.

I like the angles — it gives it a mid century vibe
