Nothing in that nightstand looks negative in any way. Love it.

[MortimerSugarloaf]

Beautiful design and great execution as always. My only critique is that you keep implying you're not worthy of the title "pro woodworker". You make beautiful pieces, your process is meticulous and careful, and you're always striving to approach perfection as closely as possible. Sounds pretty professional to me. You have permission to take the credit that's due.

I've heard people for years talk about they're dislike for red oak. I absolutely love it.. it cuts beautifully and it is one of my absolute most favorite hardwoods to stain.. particularly a walnut or Kona style stain. It just takes the finish so beautiful... I've always encouraged people to not go near Red oak, that way there's plenty of it at my hardwood dealer when I need it 🤣.. Nice build by the way!

Absolutely beautiful build man. U deserve more recognition and followers. Keep doing what u do. Would love to see a video showing how u make the drawer
Slides so nice like u did in this video.

[MasteringTheModel]

I agree with Red Oak. Yeah, it can be chippy at times if you're not careful, but other than that, it's a great wood. What is even better is when you find some old growth wood from an old house or barn. Beautiful night stand!

I like that the bookmatched drawer fronts make a heart. cute.

[ArrowHeadForgeShorts]

I love the things you make brother! I think I’ve watched this specific vid from start to finish about 3 times now! I hope to achieve your level of craftsmanship

[shadeTreeWorks]

Love the design! Some wood offers lessons on it for free, some costs $9 a foot for the lesson. Lol. The qs fir did look nice though!

[thewoodshop]

One of the best woodworkers on the tube. Looks fantastic.

[RILRIL]

Those drawer fronts are freaking awesome

[reaper]

I love the look red Oak has Morgan my friend. I'm really glad to see u using it on this piece.. It's a beautiful looking piece of furniture

[AngieWilliamsDesigns]

OMG. I love it. The small little thumbnail doesn't do it justice. It's an amazing piece. That figured walnut is gorgeous!

[Griffinwoodworks]

Dude I’m with you on the red oak. I don’t know what the hate is all about. I’ve heard of folks that’d rather work with box store 2x4s than red oak lol. Fine with me. Less demand = more supply = cheaper prices. And you can dress up your description of the piece with words like hardwood and oak lol.

[nicholasmanovich]

Holy crap ! I got a piece of walnut, almost that same size, about 6 months ago for 50 bucks....now I know I'm fortunate to get the wood I get from where I get it, but I couldn't imagine paying that much for a piece of wood.

[michaelsnyder]

Hi! Couple of things, First that end table is gorgeous! Your shop looks like mine right down to the tools, the canoe and motorcycle. Doug fir is a tricky wood you need super high angle blades pulled at an angle and feather thin cuts with a plane. Scrapers give really good results with lower chance of tear out. Your wax finish. I've used a similar for a satin sheen. If you want a high gloss try buffing it with a soft buffing wheel after its dry. You can almost get a mirror finish out of it with a few coats.
Great video. Love the style of your furniture. Good Luck! Have Fun!

[matthewziegler]

It’s good to see a Stanley 113 in use. Project looks great. Nice work.

[טלשדמה]

what a masterpiece. this figure walnut looks amazing man. cheers from Israel!!

[kentrichardson]

When you said you hate Doug fir it brought a smile to my face. Living on Vancouver Island I’ve handled my share of it, probably tens of thousands of board ft. I always hated it to. It would tear and splinter during machining, shake would appear at finishing, pitch would ooze out in sunlight not to mention slivers from just looking at it. Funny thing is I spent two hours today looking for a nice piece for a project I’m restoring. I must of burnt it all. Cheers.

never was i thinking red oak wood is bad. it was now think to lisen, but it is ok and tnx for good video!

[cabman]

I make a lot of my boxes using spruce and cedar. They are both very soft woods. I use the sander on them instead of the plane.
