Walnut nightstand

[wood-chips]

I just finished up this nightstand for my neighbor. She asked me to build it for her a few weeks ago. I got to make a few bucks as it was a commissioned project. She wanted it 30” wide 20” deep 28” high; made out of walnut with a low luster finish hand rubbed look and have a rounded edge top. The design was all mine. I decided to make the door panels flat since I had such a nice piece of wood. I used blum soft close hinges. It has one coat of watco natural finish as requested. When I was getting materials I was lucky to be able to pick through an unopened unit of 4qtr walnut. I found nice boards wide enough to be able to make the top from just two boards and a board wide enough to get book matched panels for the doors. My camera had trouble getting the colors right but here's some pictures.

Nice work. The finish makes the wood grain pop.

Looks amazing, but how do the doors open? That looks like it's begging for some nice turned matching knobs.

Yes I forgot to note, the owner picked out knobs and ordered them but they will take 2 weeks to arrive.
The nightstand is going to the owner in a couple days and the knobs will be installed when they arrive.
This was the only chance I had to get pictures easily.
