Traditional Sideboard

This piece went with the cherry dining table previously mentioned. Like the table, all the wood came from one log, so the colour is remarkably consistent for a cherry piece. I like the detail on the top of the back splash; it's a French curve capped with an art deco / post modern cylinder nestled in it. This was the result of pouring over pages and pages of images of antiques to finally strip it right down to the pure geometric form. It ended up working with the traditional look quite well I think.
In this picture, the cherry is still quite light in colour. It has darkened nicely since.

All traditional mortise and tenon joinery throughout the piece.   Solid cherry, mmmmmmm.

(As you can see, I was counting on using some photo shop feature to edit out the backdrop.)
