The Buffet went over so well I decided to make a matching piece. I added the thru tenons on the stretchers, but the rest is very similar comstruction as my buffet. The drawers have no metal runners, I just donot like the look or feel of any I have looked at. My favorite way is to use 3/4” wide strips of stickey backed UHMW above,below & on each side of the drawer box. The drawers are a bit of a challenge to fit just right, but the feel is just what I was looking for. They slide in & out with little or no effort & no sign of hardwear.

Another nice piece. I have an antique library table with a similar feel.
I agree with you. I find it disconcerting when I pull out a drawer on a furniture piece and see metal slides.
(Save them for cabinetry).

This is another beautiful piece. The comments I made about more photos would apply here as well.

Did you make it from plans or your own design Tim?

Yes I design all my own work. I have a pretty large colection of books, magazines & repo catalogs for inspiration. But like a slightly lighter feel to Arts & Crafts furniture than many of the pieces they show. Too bad Harvey Ellis only worked for Stickley for such a short time. I reallly like most of his work there. I hope to use some Ellis inspired inlay work on my next design. Another skill to master & tools to aquire!!

Beautifully done, perfect finish. It is a terrible shame about Ellis’s untimely death. It was not only a terrible blow to Stickley, but to the entire Arts and Crafts movement. I believe he was one of Americas premier architects.

Both of these pieces are very well done. I take my hat off to you. I will second about Ellis and all the different aspects of design that he insipired.
Again, Good job Tim.
