Project Information
Miniature Highboy
Plans and instruction provided by Steve Hamilton and Jeff Headley at the Woodworking Workshop of the Shenandoah Valley in Winchester, VA
Wood: Cherry
Height: 29"
Legs: Cabriole, cut with bandsaw and shaped with rasp, file, spokeshave, scrapers.
Feet: Trifid, carved with gouges.
Carved concave center fan on bottom drawer.
Half-blind dovetails with thumbnail molding lipped drawer fronts.
Brasses: Ball & Ball
Mouldings cut with moulding planes and Stanley 55
Secret drawer at the top of the case.
This small project, while not conceptually difficult, helped me focus on some finer points like the carving of the legs, the fan, improving on dovetails and having a nice flow of the grain for the drawer fronts.
Note to my classmate MichaelT77. If you finish yours, you'll be only the second person in the entire class to finish!
