    Salerno Sideboard

    A couple weeks ago I finished this piece for my sister. It's a design that I've been dragging around for a few years but this spring was given the opportunity to build it for her. The sideboard is all solid cherry with ebony and cherry burl accents. It's approximately 56"w X 34"h X 20"d. Dovetails are hand cut and the legs are a tapered bent lamination made up of 16 laminates that taper from +/-1/4" to 5/32" yeilding a leg that tapers from 4" to 1.5".
    Please critique as you see fit, I got thick skin!
    Cheers,
    NWB

    Beautiful! I really like the legs.....they add so much to what is normally a rectangle box. The drawers and drawer pulls add interest also. It is "just a very nicely done piece"!!

    I freakin' love that thing! I am a big fan of exposed joinery, multiple elevations and design elements that draw the eye. Your design has all of that. Beautiful material and workmanship.

    I've just got to build something with tapered, bent laminations now. That is just gorgeous! So unusual, so well done.

    Fabulous! Would look great in any setting!
    Rustic? Well, no. That was not my intention!

    Wowsa is right! Beautiful from every angle. Do you have a pic with the doors open?
