It’s a little scratch and dent given it’s made out of offcuts, scraps and extras from other projects but I think it came out okay. Three coats of fake “tung oil” finish and it came up to a nice warm semi-gloss, and ambered up the pine enough to take the edge off the grain.

Yeah I’m going on a bit of a victory lap here, I’m pretty happy with how this one turned out.
Looks great. Now make one out of solid ebony
Endangered hardwood shipped in from the other side of the planet? Nah. Depending on the budget I would use walnut, white oak ebonized with iron acetate, or something like beech stained with india ink.
It was a joke. A nightstand made out of ebony would cost tens of thousands I think. I’ve only seen it in pen blanks before, never dimensional.
