Stickley #603 Tabouret in QSWO

[Jay Aubuchon]

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

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.

Nice table Jay.

[Jim Becker]

Beautiful, clean lines and great choice in the material for the top!

[Charlie Jones]

Very nice. Craftsman stuff is fun to do.

[Pat Barry]

I like it. I like the proportions. Could you tell me the dimensions, ie top diameter and thickness, height ?

[Jay Aubuchon]

Thanks y'all!

Could you tell me the dimensions, ie top diameter and thickness, height ?

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 book is wonderful as well.

Show Off!

Nice nice, I like it.

[Ted Phillips]

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.

[Don Bullock]

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.

[Rob Luter]

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.

[Bill Carey]

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.
