I recently finished this entertainment stand and wanted to share it here. It's made of poplar hardwood and birch plywood. Dyed with Lockwood red walnut dye and finished with shellac and paste wax. This was a big endeavor for me as my first "real" project. The project was built with no large power tools. I used a circular saw, compound miter saw, jig saw, handheld router and cordless drill as far as power tools go. I cheated and used pocket screws for the cabinet... man,they work well. The dovetails in the drawers are hand cut and drawer bottom slips were made by hand with saw and router plane. They were fun to make. I'm going to attempt to make Shaker end tables by hand as my next furniture project, but will also be working on some tool making projects before starting that.
I apologize for the poor photography and messy living room. Thanks for looking.
