About this Class
Seemingly straightforward, these tables are deceptive. The basic form is enhanced by multiple, subtle details that work well together. Being more formal than casual, the tolerances are much tighter and cleanliness of workmanship and attention to nuance are much more significant. The veneered and cock-beaded drawer highlighted by a simple holly string, combined with the waist and lower cuff bandings, offer a nice introduction to the Federal form. And the fact that students will make a pair will also provide insights into limited batch production. This project offers a wealth of knowledge on both construction and ornamentation.
Key Points
- A systematic and coherent approach to joinery
- Fast and accurate drawer dovetailing
- A drawer with a walnut crotch veneer enhanced with stringing
- The how-to of making simple but bold ornamental bandings
- Knowledge on how to make and install cock-beading around a Drawer
- Discussions on wood movement and how to accommodate it
- Double-tapered table legs commonly found on New England furniture
