Re: Shaker side table

Absolutely lovely in proportion and execution. Would you be willing to share the dimensions?

Re: Shaker bench, cherry

In 1967 my father had adopted a very similar design (single sided sliding dovetail) to a low sofa table with magazine rack, and then to a small stool which is virtually identical to your design. Unglued, they could be "kitted" and easily assembled, or even knocked down flat. He made 65 for my boy scout troop in Boxford, Mass. I thought about that when making 11 birdhouses for my daughter's Junior troop. I don't know how he was able to do such a huge project. We still have both the stool and table. I'm sure he gained inspiration from a colonial or shaker design.
