I’ve made a few versions of this sideboard, constructed from an unusual combination of Cambia Ash and Blackwood. Cambia Ash is a heated treated timber which turns it a rich dark brown, and reduces its moisture absorption, making it very stable in both indoor and outdoor applications. The curve of the front rail on the base is mirrored in the curve at the top of the front, and the drawers feature traditional dovetail joinery. The version below was 1800mm wide and 750mm high. The knobs were also purpose made for the piece. Photos: Northside Studio.
