Shaker Dining Table

I made this Shaker table for our kitchen last year. All edges are radiused so as to contribute to the look and feel of never ending curves. They also add to the feeling of lightness I really like...

Shaker shakers

Chuck_Griffith, member | April 29th, 20091 comment

For "whole lotta Shaker" I've made a whole lotta posts, nearly once a day since March 31. Today is the event's last day, so I figure it's okay to close with something silly. I saw this idea in a...

Shaker bench, cherry

Chuck_Griffith, member | April 25th, 20093 comments

I made four of these benches for our town's historical museum. They couldn't be simpler to look at, but their joinery presented a challenge. The legs and trestle are joined by interlocking cutouts...

Shaker tapered-leg dining table, cherry

Shaker style entertainment center

Chuck_Griffith, member | April 23rd, 20092 comments

Shakers certainly didn't have entertainment centers, so this one is at best "Shaker-ish." It's based on the observation that opening two-door entertainment centers often reveals a big mess inside ...

skinny legs and all

fidgen, member | April 23rd, 20095 comments

I designed and built this small side table over the past winter, it's main body is Ash. A log that my wife and I literally stumbled over a few years back on the shore of Cape Breton Island in Nova Scotia, Canada. I had a freind with a bandsaw mill rip it down and left it to air dry for three years. The drawer fronts are made from Angelique, again another 'sea-faring' wood species...This was reclaimed from an old barge that sat in Marthas Vineyard for the better part of 100 years! This table was completely made by hand using only hand tools. The finish is Tried and True oil/varnish mix. Reclaimed wood, no power tools used and a food grade all natural oil for finish...what could be any greener than that? Cheers! www.tomfidgen.blogspot.com

Shaker occasional table, tiger maple

Shaker style bookcase, tiger maple

Chuck_Griffith, member | April 17th, 20091 comment

Shaker reading was limited to religion texts and practical instruction, so there aren't many Shaker bookcases to follow as examples. This one has an ogee profiled cornise whose side pieces are glued...

Shaker candlestand, cherry
