I recently completed this tabouret in QSWO.

I followed the plan in the Great Book of Shop Drawings for Craftsman Furniture by Robert W. Lang, although I modeled the shape of the bottom stretchers after the picture on the Stickley website. We'll use it as an end table.

Those stretchers are pinned, not draw bored, with home-made black walnut dowels.

The finish is based on Homestead Finishing's Mission Oak Finish guide.

  • one coat of BLO, instead of the suggested stain
  • one coat of General Finishes Seal-A-Cell Clear
  • scuff sand
  • apply General Finishes American Oak Gel Stain, then wipe clean
  • wipe on poly, instead of the suggested ArmRSeal
