Okay Folks, heres my latest project. It’s a Lamp Stand of the type that were popular from the 1790’s thru the early part of the 1800’s. Made from a slab of reclaimed barn pine. Mortise and tenon joinery. Tapered legs, and I beaded the front of the drawer with a small oak cock molding. Stands about 24 inches from the ground and is 17 3/8” square. Well I love making period furniture, and this was another fun one. So how do you think I did?

Looks great! I have been thinking about doing something to put next to the kids beds, since they’ve started reading at night. This is very inspirational – thanks for sharing it.

Awesome! I love seeing projects from reclaimed wood, and I especially love the look of a few knots in a nice pine board. That drawer pull was a great touch as well. It really seals the period you were honoring.

I’m just now in the middle of making two almost exactly like yours except a little smaller and with maple. Mine will be night tables for the guest bedroom. The cock molding is a nice touch that mine won’t have. If they turn out half as good as yours, I’ll be happy.

I think you did a wonderful job NJ. The attention to detail really makes the piece stand out. The fact that you made it from reclaimed wood just makes it that much more special. Terrific piece of woodworking and thanks for letting us see it!

Nice “period style” table. I wish you would share some of steps in building it. Did you use a tapering jig to make the legs? What was the construction of the drawer?
