My first furniture project. My daughters birthday gift. Made my own patterns and sized as I went. With the materials I had. A few learning mistakes but it’s personal and she loves it. The sides and bottom are 3/4 stock but the top and the base is all 1 1/2 stock.
The Cadar was all ripped from 2” stock and planed to suit. The black walnut was rough, resawn and planed to suit.
Was a many Saturday winter project as my shop is at my camp, had to heat up with the wood furnace each weekend , especially for gluing and finishing.
