Stickley Done Darkly

Congratuations!! It came out as good as it promised in the beginning, maybe even better. Great work guys.

Looks Great!!! Your works is truly awesome. I would love to know how you attached the breadboards. I’ve seen plans for a coffee table with a similar breadboard design that used screws and wooden plugs set into the tenons of the tabletop to allow for the screws to bit into long grain.

great table, walnut is beautiful … bet it was a challenge to make

Nice work! That is some beautful gnarly grain in there and I like the streaks of sapwood. Looks great.

Ah yes, just another fine example that walnut works so perectly in the Arts and Crafts (etc) styles.

Very nice, Schroeder. You are an extraordinary table maker. Walnut is not a wood readily available here, so I really like to view project that have been made with it – such a beautiful wood.

Wow really nice, I really like that table. Like Don I do’nt have access to alot of woods like that (also not equiped yet). I have four small logs of walnut that I plan to use as pegs and trim in some Green and Green pieces. I just did some ebonizing tst this weekend and the color is amazing.

I think it would look a lot better in my living room :)

Where would the best place be to find plans for something like this, I am not good enough yet to build it by eye and it really looks great. It is the table top that would stump me.

That’s a solid looking table! How many NFL middle linebackers does it take to move it?

Nice work. Beautiful table.

Thanks all! – it was a fun and heavy project! – Iclashley, I use the method your describing for attaching breadboards – I bloged the process for this table ( or look up Kevin Rodel on the Fine Woodworking site). Snowdog – The “general” dimensions and design came from an article by Rex Alexander in the publication “In the Craftsman Style”. Another good source for tables (though difficult to find) is “Tage Frid Teaches Woodworking” – gives the ins and outs of dimensioning. Dan – it really isn’t complex to make this table, just a little on the cumbersome & heavy side.

Schroeder: that is one great looking table. A beautiful job. Cronks walnut supply must be something else.

Thanks Karson – yup, he’s been cutting for 25+ years. It’s nice to have mutual friends that we can build for.

Schroeder- What an amazing finished piece! And, thanks for the walk around tour of the table! What do you estimate its finished weight is?

Very very nice!

-- Jesus is Lord!

Just gorgeous. The top is very engaging. Sort of like looking at a campfire.

-- Jeff, St. Paul, MN

Thanks Os & Caliper – never really thought of it like looking at a fire, but lord knows Cronk & I never get tired of looking at the figure in walnut. Dorje, thanks!, I think all in all it probably weighs in at 325 lbs or so.

I re-read my post… Didn’t mean for it to sound negative or odd. I just meant, like you said, I could look at it for a long time. It seems very mesmerizing – like a campfire. Thanks for sharing.

-- Jeff, St. Paul, MN

Awesome table! If I can get half that good, I will be thrilled.

-- Wayne - Newbie looking to learn!

Absolutely stunning piece! Great design and details. This should never have a table cloth on it.

Absolutely gorgeous table !!!

Stunning Table!

Good Luck in the contest.

That’s a GREAT looking table. I’ve resigned myself while on this website to comment on projects that I see that make me verbally say “oh wow! NICE!”

The table you’ve created, sir, is definitely in that category! I love the finish and dark wood, excellent!

Beautiful Table.
