New project that I'm going to try to build.
Two nightstands in italian chestnut with olive wood for the drawer.
Wish me luck!

Good luck, hobbiest wood worker, trained carpenter myself. Chestnut was once very popular where I live, now it’s very tough to get, actually never worked with it other than removing old trim. Must be nice to work with because they trimmed out a shit load of houses in the early 1900’s with it.

Thanks!
It feels like white oak while planing it flat, but softer. I think it's around a 1000 in the janka scale, while white oak runs in the high 1800. Beautiful timber though, awesome grain and cheaper than white oak, very underrated
I know you will be up to the task...
