Serotina

This little side table is finished and photographed. I call it Serotina.

Wedged Drawer Pulls

Three little drawers with three little pulls. The pulls are installed, wedged from the inside, and this side table is almost finished.

Curved Fronts

The drawers on this little side table are finished, and now I'm doing the final shaping of the drawer fronts.The drawers are held in place with stops and wedges, and then I work the drawer fronts and front apron at the same time with a block plane to ensure that the fronts are flush to the apron. Since the aprons have a curved profile, I'll do final cleanup with sandpaper.

Little Dovetails for Little Drawers

Because of the splay of the drawer fronts, the layout of these dovetails was interesting. The bottom edge of the bottom tail is parallel to the bottom of the drawer. A little unusual, but this layout was most aesthetically pleasing to my eye.

Closing in on Dovetails

More drawer parts. Here I'm cleaning up the bottom edges of the sides before ripping to finished width. It's nice to work such small parts after the large drawers in my recent chest of drawers. Dovetails soon. Pins first, of course.
