New Tables For the Mrs.

Project by bayouman posted 429 days ago 747 views 4 times favorited 8 comments Add to Favorites Watch

I received a request for a pair of Mission Style end tables from the lovely but formidable Ms. Linda. The first was straightforward and I had plans and drawings from, I believe, WOOD Magazine. The second was a bit more complicated. It had to act as end table for the chair but also wrap around the couch. No plans, no drawings. So I borrowed what I could from the first table and then improvised. It’s almost completed. Just need to add the shelf and then the finish. Picture one is the straightforward one.

nice tables
and great timing
loml has ‘hinted’ that I’m getting ready to build 2 of those end tables.
if they come out 1/2 as nice I’ll score some serious brownie points!

My wife is talking about a mission style sleigh bed: I hope my attempt at mission style turns out like your. Those tables look great!

Great looking tables, I bet there will be no honey-do-s for a long time.

I like your adaptation of the craftman style to modern use. I also like the graceful curve in the front. It has a light and airy look to it, but sturdy too.
