Willin Posted February 19, 2015 Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 I got the idea from a project in a book called "Arts and Crafts Furniture Anyone Can Make." It is a take on a design done over a hundred years ago by the great Scottish architect, painter, and designer Charles Rennie Mackintosh. My SU model shown here, and it is up on the 3D Warehouse. I am going to make it, but it will sit between a cherry dining set that is all Mackintosh, and a living room group that is all Gustaf Stickley, in dark brown-red Onandaga finish QSWO. I think I will do it in rift cherry, dyed real dark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bushwacked Posted February 19, 2015 Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 That's a nice looking to able and I really like those squares. Hopefully you create a build log on this one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willin Posted February 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 I have chopped square through-holes for tenons, but for ones like in this design, where they are purely decorative, and the inside surfaces visible, I do them as a glue-up. Rip wide boards, chopsaw out the holes, re-glue, done all at a thickness of +1/4, then surface down to finish. Looks pretty true when done. The rips, chops, and reglue ops take a morning in the shop.
