Sideboard with Three Hidden Compartments

Jun 09, 2022

John originally built this sideboard for the 2020 juried showcase in the Northeast Woodworkers Association’s annual event. Two weeks before the show, the Covid pandemic struck and everything was shut down, so he never got to show the piece. It was heavily influenced by Chris Gochnour’s sideboard and Garrett Hack’s huntboard, combining elements of both. And the fun part: The carcase has three hidden compartments.
