Greene and Greene Night Table



This is a detail I figured out once the design and construction process was well underway. The sides and back of the stand are cherry veneered mdf.

Following in the Greene brothers example, the mouldings applied to the panels are not the same thickness. The North/South moulding is 1/4 inch thick and the East/West moulding is 3/32 inch creating a nice little jump at the joint. It pulls your hand towards it to feel the lip. Much more enjoyable than if they were flush and even.
