Stunning Fine Furniture from 2x4s! This even blew my mind!
In this tutorial, I will guide you on how to create stunning fine furniture using only 2x4s from your local home center. I meticulously hand-picked the best 2x4s available at Home Depot, although, as with any lumber, they weren't completely straight or flat. Nevertheless, I overcame these issues and created some stunning furniture pieces. Starting with rough cutting the boards to length and planing them down, I then milled them to the correct width, before crafting the legs, back, and sides. Adding a groove to hold the back and sides in place and some decorative arcs to the bottom of the legs, I then assembled the panels, shelves, and doors, ensuring that they could move freely with expansion and contraction. To give the cabinet a modern design look and feel, I opted to route some decorative flutes onto the two front doors, and the top was fashioned using the pentagonal tiling technique to give it a unique appearance. After staining the furniture in a vivid cherry color, it was impossible to tell that this fine furniture was made from ordinary 2x4s.
