Pics, Variations on Stickley Designs

[Dan Oliphant]

These were made as a wedding gift for my son, two end tables, and the coffee table. The original design is from the Stickley Furniture products line. Only part of the design I used was their legs. Species is cherry, finish is as follows; shellac washcoat, light brown dye followed by pale shellac. Four coats of boiled linseed oil with four coats of spray lacquer. Finish was rubbed out using a beeswax/linseed oil/turpentine wax.
Thanks for looking.

Dan,
That is a great looking group of tablrs. Well Done!!! I too, like Stickley, wright, etc. so this is really interesting to me.... Nice fit/finish. Be proud!!

Very Nice work Dan. I like the changes you made to the Taboret Table.

I'm a fan of Mission/Arts and Crafts furniture, but I don't like QSWO's appearance, so I really like the cherry that you used. The finish is excellent also.
Did you have some form of plans or drawings for the coffe table? IIRC Stickley never made a coffee table. None the less, I like your version.

Nice work.

Dan,

Nicely done and a respectful interpretation. A&C is my passion as well and it's nice to see someone improve on a design without loosing the flavor and tradition of the piece.

Dan,
Really nice work. Love the cherry and the design. Are the tops veneered or are they solid? If solid are the ends constructed like breadboard ends? Again wonderful work.

All, thanks for the nice comments,

Mike C. I created my own drawings for both pieces, then broke the design down into the individual piece designs for fabrication.
Rick, The tops are solid. The entire perimeter is constructed as a breadboard end would be, the pins are hand turned Honduran Mahogany, function is both structural and decorative.
These pieces will stay in the high desert of S. Ca. for a very long time.The moisture content variations should not be an issue.

Beautiful Dan! Fit and finish is superb!
