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.

Neat design!

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 points 1 year ago

Queensland maple for the body and jarra for the supports.

Mitered dovetails?

[–] Drmickhead667@lemmy.fmhy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

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.

Wow beautiful. What a unique design.

[–] MyTurtleSwimsUpsideDown@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

That’s pretty dang slick!

[–] -spam-@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

Knocked it out of the park.

[–] Obi@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 year ago

Very cool and original, well done!

[–] CkrnkFrnchMn@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago

A tad too deep for me but I do like the design...nice.

[–] whelmer@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] spauldo@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Looks rather modern (as in 1950s-1960s style). That's my favorite style. Now I miss my old furniture :)

Very nice work!
