Queen Anne Lowboy Dressing Table

Bob! Awesome! Though I wouldn’t have faulted you for buying the legs, I’m impressed you did them yourself. A much greater feeling of accomplishment, I’m sure. The carving is really nice. Overall a beautiful job!

This is really an impressive piece of work! I think your new found carving skills can greatly increase the beauty and uniqueness of your work.

That is an excellent piece of work. When you start on this quality of projects, you really do push the envelope.

Wonderful Bob. The Q A dressing table is on my list of future projects. Thanks for all your notes about the process you went thru. It looks fantastic.

Wow Bob, after seeing these legs at the picnic I was impressed but now after seeing your completed project I believe your woodwork is awesome. great craftsmanship.

Bob. A great accomplishment. The legs were the beginning and thanks for showing them to us at Lee’s. But, you have branched out from there. Truly beautiful. A great job. You will have to bring it to Lee’s next picnic.

Bob;

This is fantastic! Talk about jumping off a cliff with your comfort zone. I’m blown away at the work you did here.

I have to thank you for proving my belief that a person can do work in their own hobby workshop, and exceed that of many professionals.

I believe it’s not the experience you have, but the level of craftsmanship your willing to put your name on.

Obviously, you have set a very high level of acceptable craftsmanship for yourself, and I applaud you.

Thanks for the kind words also, and I really had a great time at our picnic.

Really fantastic work!

Bob,

You just trumped anything that has been posted here in recent memory… by a wide margin at that!

This is truly a remarkable piece by any standards, but even moreso considering the aspects of the project that you had little or no prior experience with. I’m really inspired to better my own work now!

Bob, the table is gorgeous.

This looks fantastic! Congrats on hooking up with the NJ wood turners, they will take you to the next level. Reproduction furniture is challenging (does that even begin to cover it?) and I think you did a great job.

Bob, Fantastic! I applaud your willingness to try new things. It looks absolutely stunning.

I live down stream in Maryland, maybe I could attend a picnic next year. Sounds like fun.

In woodworking, the journey is as important as getting there. I hope you enjoyed yours, because the end result looks great.

Hi all,

Thanks for the kind words. I appreciate the efforts we all put into this craft.

Beautiful Job!

Great job! Brings back memories of the one I made a long time ago.

I started with a Queen Ann highboy in mahogany. It was my first attempt and the legs
and the carving. Then years later I made the lowboy.

Now that you have the system down it will take less than half the time to make another.

Try a highboy. Here’s the ones I made: http://lumberjocks.com/projects/1753

Fanatastic! I love 18th Century furniture and you have taken your craft to a whole new level.

Nice Lowboy!! I especially like your fan carving!! I wish I woul’ve had more cash for some carving tools, so I could’ve carved the middle drawer on my Lowboy. I also was shocked to see how much those legs are on Table Legs.com. I did manage to get a catalog from them, and I guess to encourage you, they give you a coupon to use. I bought the legs on the Lingerie chest from them, and then they sent me a e-survey to answer. Once I did that, they emailed me a 30% coupon that I will use in a few weeks. The legs I used on my Lowboy, and Highboy I bought from http://www.adamswoodproducts.com/. They offer that leg in 4 species. And their’s were only $50.00!! I think I only spent $400.00 on my Lowboy. I used cheap Rockler hardware on it, but I went all out (somewhat) on the Highboy. Order the Highboy plan, I want to see you build one!! Everyone should build a Highboy, they are so challenging and rewarding!!
