Entry Table

Project by Todd A. Clippinger posted 768 days ago 1318 views 14 times favorited 22 comments Add to Favorites Watch

This is an entry or hall table made of ash for some clients that I done much work for.

The design is based off of simple Shaker lines but I don’t consider it Shaker. I just wanted to keep it simple and refined.

Dimensions are about 42” long, 16” wide, and 28” high. I have them written down somewhere, but that is the best I can recall for now. The top is 1” thick.

The finish is Sherwin Williams T77F37, a precatalyzed satin lacquer finish.

Clients loved it.

Todd that is a great big Ash Table. Just had to say that. It’s great I do like it.

Why would you not want to call it a Shaker table?

Looks fairly shaker to me – choice of wood notwithstanding… do those legs taper on all four sides, or just the two outside planes? Can’t wrap my brain around the geometry of the joinery if the former.

Yes, good to see some new projects of yours!

Sorry for dropping off the face of the earth. Been real busy in Ohio trying to get back home to Montana. Things got a bit out of control here.

I have been taking lots of pictures of things to share but I have trouble doing anything more than posting to the gallery.

Scottb – The legs taper on the insides that face the other legs.

Karson – Most people do call it a Shaker table. It does carry a lot of the Shaker design. I am not opposed to it, although it feels more modern due to the choice of material.

WayneC – You are quite philosophical for just being a dog.

Thanks Dave,

I was just wondering about you the other day. Did your blanket chest sell in the gallery?

Looks great Todd! With it only being 28” tall you have still given it the look of height with the leg sizes. It’s a keeper.

Todd,
Nice clean lines. It does show Shaker influence but that’s not bad. I’m sure your client is very pleased.

I agree with Chip, the best word is Elegant. Maybe even sexy? It needs a vase full of roses sitting on top.

Todd, the table looks really good. I like to ask if you could gie the dimensions on it. what are the dimesions on the legs. I always have trouble trying to figure out on a good taper.
