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
