Description

Furniture from the Arts and Crafts period, like this Stickley Tile-top Tea Table, are both stylish and functional. Traditionally, furniture of this period was made in quarter-sawn oak, but this project would look great in just about any wood.

 

 

Stickley Tile-top Tea Table

You’ll be copying a rare example of Stickley design. While the original size is roughly 20″ X 25″, you can modify the size to suit your needs. The beauty of making a project of this kind in such a small class is room for customization.

 

Some of the skills learned in the Book Stand class are:

• Project Design
• How to accurately plan and make a tile top
• Through mortise-and-tenon joinery

 

Each student should supply his or her own:

• Safety glasses and hearing protection
• Combination or machinist square
• Bevel gauge
• Bench chisels
• Carvers mallet
• Dovetail saw
• Marking gauge
• Smooth plane or jack plane
• Block plane
• Tape measure or folding rule

If you do not have the tools on the list, don’t panic, there are plenty of tools for you to use in class.

Course Dates:

If you want to make a larger table and you’re buying the wood through me, choose the appropriate lumber pack, then contact me to work out the customization.

Tiles are not included in the lumber pack pricing and may be purchased from a variety of producers.
