Huntboard in a Southern style
-
Just finished modeling a small sideboard, based on plans in Fine Woodworking magazine, issue #39. The original was built by Carlyle Lynch, working from measured drawings he did in 1952. He used walnut, with cherry and holly cockbeading. The secondary wood is pine. At just under 4 feet long, this is a nice piece of period furniture that would fit well in a modern house or apartment.
Let me know what you think.

Nice work, David.
Are the pulls on the drawers supposed to be off center? Is the pink (Color_B05) representing the secondary wood? Are the drawer sides something else? They aren't painted. And so component wrappers are painted instead of their faces.
This one seems relatively simple to build compared to several I can think of.

Dave,
I'll tweak the position of the pulls one of these days. And add color to the drawer sides.But you're right: As huntboards go, this one is extremely simple. It's probably one that even I could build.

Yeah. I probably could, too.
Have you seen this ?

Dave,
If you meant the post about setting insertion points, yes, I did.
If you meant the redesign of FineWoodworking.Com , yes, I did.If you were indirectly asking what I thought of the redesign, well . . . It's cleaner than the old design, the videos are larger. Woodturning has its own area, at last. But the blogs are a little downplayed from what they used to be. To some extent, Taunton just put lipstick on a pig. The quality of content has been sub-par lately, ditto the frequency with which new content was posted. I really don't care which editors got a walk-on part on "Parks and Recreation."
But maybe you weren't asking for my opinion.

Well, I wasn't asking about the redesign. I haven't had time to look at it that closely anyway. I will, now, well, after I go eat sushi.
I was mostly referring to the thing about setting the insertion point.
TTFN.

Excellent!
I'm such a nit picker.
