I very much like the old style furniture but one thing quick to realize is that most of it doesn’t really have much organizing space.
It’s a show of craftsmanship, it is something to look at but that is it.
I’m planning to build a lot of furniture for myself and the top requirement is internal space, followed by ease of assembly and modularity.
Visual impact can be achieve by different varnishes or finishes or, what I’m considering lately, pyro engraving or ink line work, underneath the varnish.
Here’s a little plant stand I built, that one is white oak and finished with spar varnish, it’s currently living under a massive peace lily.
Built a pair of these end tables to go on either side of my couch. Tops are oak, the structures are yellow pine. I put a secret compartment in one of the drawers. I’ve always wanted to do that.
A dining room cupboard I more recently built. Walnut, with poplar internals. I’m particularly proud of the grain matched drawer fronts, the entire face frame is made from one solid board.
The hutch that goes with that cupboard currently looks like this:
And since the tonguing is done, I’ll take my leave and go.
