This wood veneer wall clock showcases the rich reddish-brown hue and fine grain pattern of Babinga wood. Known for its durability and attractive texture, the veneer adds a luxurious touch to the clock. The design typically embraces a minimalist or modern style, with clean lines that emphasize the natural beauty of the wood.
This nightstand is built from solid ash with a recessed cherry accent piece on the drawer front that doubles as the drawer pull. It is finished with General Finishes water-based black stain to ebonize the ash, followed by several coats of Osmo Polyx satin hard wax oil. Ebonizing does a nice job of bringing out the grain in ash, which you can see through the finish.
This washstand was made by Upson and Johnson Furniture Manufacturers in Rockford, Illinois, between 1868 and 1875. I believe it is made of mahogany with a shellac finish.
I am retired so I spend my time in the garage making saw dust. Check out the results.
