Lisa and I have in the past few years bought some furniture. For the first few years our taste ran in the “early, mid, late, American garage sale category. It was an eclectic pile of rubbish! When we decided to get our bedroom set, we got the “Good Stuff”………. Basset! Well, they don’t make’ em like they use to. It is not bad stuff, but the use of veneer and plastic is notable. I still love it, but I’m not excited to pay good money for things I don’t see as quality.
When Elli needed “big girl” furniture for her room, I ran across a wooden girls bed that was being tossed and repaired it. With that under my belt I ventured into some overly elaborate book selves to match the girlish theme. It was fun, but a bit daunting. Having had some successes with this and a few other projects, I find myself on that doorstep again. Nate needs a nightstand and eventually a bed.
While talking shop with my grandpa and Dad, I discover that I may have access to some old mahogany. After getting a few pieces and working with them I am sure I can create from solid wood, not veneer or MDF the bedroom set I want for Nate.
The sawdust pile grows!
