Project Information
Finally finished this little table/plant stand. The design was inspired by three of my favorite Arts and Craft designers: Harvey Ellis, Charles Limbert and Charles Rennie Mackintosh. If you're interested, there's more information in the progress posts on my blog.
The half-lapped stringers are mortised into the legs - can't tell you how tricky it was keeping the legs level.
It's finished with a Jeff Jewitt recipe that is a pretty close mimic of Stickley Fayetteville. I've used it several times, and have always been happy with the results.
The table stands 18 inches tall; the top is 13 inches square.
All wood is reclaimed from two beat up old school desks we bought at a yard sale, resulting in a mix of quartersawn, riff cut and flat sawn oak. In hindsight, I wish I was a little bit more picky about the wood, but given this little guy's role as a background piece, it's probably fine as a salvage project.
