I made these nightstands with reclaimed siding and fir flooring, and scrap wood from a remodel they will ultimately furnish. I found the matching knobs for $1 each at a building materials salvage yard.

Finish Used
I used Fast Dry Semi Gloss Interior Varathane. It's water clean-up and has a blue label. I wish I'd used some light stain to warm the color of the wood a little. I like to use the semi gloss and remove the last imperfections in the finish with 0000 steel wool. In the end the finish is closer to satin.
