Mark Edmundson
Edmundson made this cherry bench (16 in. deep by 42 in. wide by 27 in. tall) while on break from the College of the Redwoods, where he studied under James Krenov. The bench has an oil finish and features a Danish cord weaved seat. The style borrows from a chair designed by Carl Malmsten, under whom Krenov studied. Photo by Seth Janofsky.

Timothy McKibben
Based on a piece that appears in Jeffrey P. Greene's American Furniture of the 18th Century (The Taunton Press, 1996), McKibben built this William and Mary highboy as a project for Palomar College's hand-tool joinery and veneering classes. The highboy (22 in. deep by 38 in. wide by 68 in. tall) is made of beech, poplar, cherry, cherry veneer, madrone burl veneer and tulipwood banding. The upper and lower cases were finished with milk paint and shellac, while the legs were stained a darker color for contrast.

Bruce VanSledright
VanSledright designed this piece to match a dining table that belongs to his client, an artist who appreciates Arts and Crafts furniture. The linen press (15-1/8 in. deep by 26 in. wide by 45 in. tall) is made of quarter- and flatsawn curly white oak. It displays typical Craftsman features, such as pegged or wedged mortise-and-tenon joinery, hefty components and flat panels. The finish is linseed oil, super-blond shellac and wax.
