Can Bob build it? Part 2

A few weeks ago I showed you Bob's workshop. I have shown several of his carvings here, but have never shown any of the furniture he has made. Today I thought I would show the furniture he made for our bedroom.
.

This is Bob's nightstand.
.

This is my nightstand. I asked for one with a door, so I had a place to put books and any of the other things I tend to collect!
.

He made the headboard with 2 raised panels.
.

Here is the armoire.
.


I wanted to show you the inside of the armoire so you could see the 3 little drawers he put in it. They work well for keeping all his little things, like keys, change... A lot of the oak for these came from the woods my uncle owned and where Bob used to hunt.
He has drawn up plans for a dresser, which will be his next big project.
He tends to be a perfectionist when he works on these things so they are made well and will last a long time. It makes them even more special to use because he made them.

  17. He is so talented- what's better is that he shares his talent with family. I still remember how excited mom was to get the cabinet from him!
    But what else would you expect from such a good egg.
