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.
