Very nice table. Well done.

Great table, looks wonderful. How did you carve out the bottom of the legs?

Looks great! I do love the G&G style.
Don’t give up on BLO just yet, yes it takes time to set up but it really makes the finished piece look great!

Very nice project. I love G&G style furniture and your project is a nice interpretation. Can’t wait to see the companion piece.

Beautiful details on the piece! Also liked your using natural sunlight in photographing it-something I’ve never thought of whwn it came time to take a picture of one of my completed projects.
Can you reference the Darrel Peart pattern you mentioned? Would like to get a copy of it.
Also, does it contain the instructions on how to employ the finishing technique-ie. potassium bicrhomate, artists oils, etc.
Finally, can I ask what technique was use to craft the leg indentations?
Thanks.

Awesome tbone! You’ve really inspired me to get back to work on my sofa table.

Darrell told me that you can find the patterns at American Furniture Design Co.

Gerry, CaptainSkully’s right, I bought the pattern from American Furniture Design Co.
This is the first piece I’ve built from a ‘store-bought’ pattern. I don’t think I could have figured out some of the details without it.
Also, the leg indent detail is beautifully described in Darrell Peart’s book “Greene & Greene-Design Elements for the Workshop” It’s deceptively simple, and it’s the kind of detail that separates this style of furniture from the other Arts & Crafters.
I highly recommend that book along with Robert Lang’s “Shop Drawings for Greene & Greene Furniture.” I know of no other books for the woodworker of Greene & Greene inspired furniture that are better than these two.
