A pair of walnut nightstands. This is my first attempt at building tables with drawers.  The construction is mortise and tennon. The drawer box is 1/2" baltic birch ply with half-blind dovetails and walnut false drawer face. I would love to have handcut dovetails, but my current skill level doesn't meet the precision required just yet. The finish is a danish oil with a satin lacquer as the top coat.
