a hickory sideboard

to go with the reclaimed chestnut table in the previous post, we were also commissioned to build this natural hickory sideboard. it's a long one, almost 9' and 32" high. when it gets its 2" thick stone top, it will be 34" tall ... click the photos to enlarge them ...

it's a fairly straightforward piece of construction ... doors and drawers with adjustable shelves, but it was fun to compose the lights and darks and see them slowly all come together ..

it's got two silverware storage inserts in the drawers ....
arranging and rearranging the patterns ... the grain and color of the two center drawer faces was particularly interesting ...
it has a hickory ply case
with some applied face frame details to lend substance and contrast
and full extension undermount drawer runners for the 15" deep drawers ...
turned feet, similar to the table and applied raised moldings .. a fun project.
