>Hello Rolf,
Thanks for sharing your ideas! One additional variation you might consider for the 'nightstand': is to use breadboard ends on the top.
One example of how this has been done is shown here from the front and here from the back.
This is a piece from the early 1900's by the American architects Greene & Greene.
Thanks again for sharing, Wiley
Sure. Ok.

>Your design drawings make obvious the fact that my finished working drawings suck.
No critique here, just shame for lack of art skills. Gotta get me a 3D CAD program...

>the breadboard end is about centered over the leg post. Picture is unclear, but that inlay on the leg is silver 'vines' and tropical wood 'flowers'.

>Thanks, Wiley, but that's what I thought, probably was unclear. I was suggesting that I'd like it a lot more if the breadboard wasn't centered, but instead lined up with the leg on the interior. Perhaps my real objection is the dark color. I do like the inlay.
