Shaker Style Side Table

I started this table a few years back and shelved it for more immediate projects. Just got back to it last month.



Parts were finished with 4 coats of shellac before assembly to make final finishing easier
  
I used Sycamore for the secondary wood in the drawer



Pine for the drawer bottom acquired from an recycled furniture piece


The frame is made from Black Walnut and tiger-striped Sugar Maple. The front frame pieces and the drawer, shown being fitted below, was cut from the same board for grain continuity. 







I used wood screws abutting leather pieces in the back of the drawer to make slight adjustments.


Drawer knob cut from a Walnut knot


Using Rotten stone and mineral oil to smooth the last coat of Shellac. I like the semigloss look with the warmth showing through, and being able to feel the grain, unlike urethane.
