Shaker Furniture

PENNSYLVANIA SPICE BOX Highly figured wood and hand-cut joinery make this chest a showpiece of craftsmanship. Spice boxes have a heritage that goes back several centuries. These small chests originally may have been used for storing rare spices, but they were usually filled with valuables such as jewelry and documents. Size: 18" high by 15 3/4" wide and 10" deep.

| SHAKER CHEST OF DRAWERS This tall chest of drawers was strongly influenced by the Shaker style of furniture. The design originates from a similar piece made in the 1830's. This is a tall piece which will dominate the setting that you choose to place it in. It is made of Imbuya which is a departure from the traditional cherry of the Shaker furniture and has walnut burl insets in the doors. Size: 80" high by 41 1/2" wide and 22 1/2" deep.

SHAKER SEWING STAND Shaker sewing stands have a
special charm that fits in almost all decors. The dovetailed drawer opens from both ends
of the table and the legs have a sliding dovetail to support them in the base. Our step by
step instruction walks you through the difficult part of cutting the dovetails to assure a
perfect piece when completed. |
SHAKER END TABLE The clean uncluttered lines of this table have both a Shaker and a Federal influence. The tapered legs and the dovetailed drawer are representative of both designs. This is an easy project that only requires a limited amount of material and produces a very elegant table when finished. Size: 26" high by 24"square top. |
