the black walnut bar/sideboard above was a fun project. mirrors, lights, glass, repeating details ... all fun. there is a pretty long blog post on that one here.
and heres a stylish one that accompanied a table with similar design ... we worked the details over carefully with the client and while we we stuck for a label, included it in the realm of art deco though it is strictly diane and dan deco. an extremely fun project from the early 90s.
heres the table that it went with. lots and lots of details on that one. often, the table and sideboard are designed to complement one another and make the room seem to be totally custom.
this custom bubinga sideboard was made from the 6 feet we cut off the end of a 20 bubinga plank that we used to make a 14 x 48" wide table that went to princeton, new jersey, next door to the governors mansion
ive got a better photo somewhere .. +/- 2002. dawn of the digital photo age
this figured cherry sideboard had a table with it
as did this cherry and maple burl sideboard from +/- 2003. this sideboard was made from virtually the same drawing as the first, curly maple sideboard in this post. take a design, do something to it
this country style sideboard was one of the first sideboards i made back in the very early 80s...
and this one, from the early 90s, was an engineering challenge with its suspended box and turned supporting columns with brass feet, and curly maple veneered doors. the inside was almost completely drawers on runners that pulled out to store not only silverware and dining room stuff, but also music cds, at the time a semi precious commodity. times change ... another diane and dan deco project ...
this is not really a sideboard, but its a cool piece. it was designed to go against a curved wall, (the front in this photos), but we made the drawers go both choices and they had pulls on the other side too, so it can also be placed at some time in the future, against a straight wall. multitaking ... and on and on ...
this one is from last spring. its 9 long and had to go through the window when it got to new jersey .. oops! but it made it ... it now has a stone top and you can see the details of its construction in this blog post.
ill add a few more as time permits and update our progress on the upcoming sideboard below once we get it under choice in early december ... all for now ..
12/2 ... a few more sideboards
studio style again with cherry and black and ebony and burl details. the pulls are blackened brass, custom cast for us by horton brasses in pensylvania.
and this piece, while technically not a sideboard per se, has certain sideboard buffet qualities to it. storage, interest, detail. fun with walnut ... blog post here
a little mahogany arts and crafts thing here ... hardware from stickley. design by dan and mary
my first sideboard. 1973. before i even had a house to put it in. i made it from a book entitled fine furniture you can make yourself and i believe it was by someone named christoforo, but i cant seem to find it at the moment. its around here somewhere ... anychoice, you can see what happens to a linseed oil finish on pine over the course of almost 40 years. it gets pretty dark.

this one and the one below are similar in design with figured cherry panels and quartersawn cherry edge details. one with an edge inlay, one without. one with black details; one all cherry and one with curly maple details and crotch mahogany veneers. same drawing, different results .. take and object; do something to it; do something else to it.
