Kenora Console
1-Day Build
2025
Our guest bedroom needed a narrow dresser unit, I had family visiting in a few days, some scrap (and very warped) birch plywood, and a CNC.
If you don't include drying time, this was a 1-day build from design to completion.
~30min measuring and digital design
~1 hour digital CNC prep
~1 hour CNC cutting
~2 hours sanding and cleaning edges
~1.5 hour finishing with water-based poly
~1 hour rattan install on sliding doors
~1 hour assembly and glue up
I know exposed edge plywood furniture isnt everyones cup of tea, and ya, there are things I would have done differently had I spent more time in the design phase, but theres something so endearing about quick and loose projects. You learn a lot, you have fun doing it, it's quick satisfaction, and you solve a problem.
