Floating Nightstands

My current project entails two floating nightstands made from Walnut. Here are some specs:
  • Walnut for the case top and sides and for the drawer front
  • Maple for the case back and drawer sides, back and bottom.
  • Stands will attach to wall with two keyhole slots on the back
  • Pencil roll detail milled into the side tops
  • Biscuits used to attach case sides and top and back
  • Dovetail joinery on the drawer front
  • Drawer runs on 1/2" runners

Process for making the pencil roll on the sides below. Starts with a cove bit on the router, moves to simple chisel work.
