Actually, my buddy Eric made one for his son’s nursery. He gave me a copy of the plans, which I used to make them. We found the book later. Eric has inspired my woodworking for several years.

nice job on this. be aware that red oak gets a green tint to it when fumed with ammonia. looks like you just lightly fumed it, so it’s not noticeable in the photo.

Yeah, I wasn’t overwhelmingly happy with the finish on the bookends and tabouret tables, but I knew that going in based on research. I have since gone to all quartersawn white oak, which should take fuming just fine. Ironically, Stickley used a fumed finish to downplay the medullary ray fleck in QSWO, which he thought gave it a more blended look. I personally like to highlight the rays. I’ve been using TransTint Reddish Brown in alcohol and have been happy with it’s simplicity and finished look.

Nice table, I like the tru tenons. Did you drill out most, and then chisel out the rest??
I have never tried the fuming, because like you I like to pop the rays.
Been working with asphaltum satin lately and really like the finish it gives.

Thanks for posting

Yeah, they were drilled out mostly, then filed to fit the existing tenon. Making everything on a ten degree andgle was the hardest part.
