These nightstands were my first real furniture project. They are closely modeled after the work of Becksvoort and the dresser by Mike Pekovich in FWW. All the cherry was from a single log, allowing me to bookmatch all of the glued-up panels. On one stand the grain is continuous up one side, over the top, and down the other, but I didn’t have enough bookmatch to to that on both. Because I wanted to have consistent wood throughout, I taught myself to make all the moldings, which much help from FWW!!

Looks great. I just started milling up lumber to build a couple of nightstands following the same article as you did by Mike Pekovich, I was just wondering what did your overall dimensions end up being? How did the dovetailed keys for the side molding go for you? Now what a chest of drawers to match?
