I recently completed this tabouret in QSWO.

386831 386833 386832

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 (http://homesteadfinishingproducts.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/mission_oak_6-2016.pdf) 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

Looks good Jay.

I've got one just like it that I have been working on off an on for a few years. Just mess with it when time permits. One day I'll finish it.

The top is 18" in diameter and 1" thick. It stands 20" high. The legs are 1 1/2" square. The stretchers are 3/4".

That's a gorgeous piece, Jay! I like the arc on the stretchers - it gives the table a little "lift" and makes it look more delicate than it is.

Very well done. That’s a table that’s on my “to do” list sometime. I really like the grain pattern and flecks in your top.

Nice. We're Stickley and A&C fans at our house and have an abundance of QSWO furniture. Your finish looks just like "Fayetteville" from Stickley.

nicely done, Jay. I have 60 bf of QSWO waiting to be turned into a Stickley library table. Love building his stuff

Nice wood selection and a sturdy looking design! The legs almost look like zebra wood.
