Stickley style side table

Furnished content.
(from Lumberjocks.com)


Stickley style side tableWhen I convinced my wife that my oversized bent-arm Morris chair had to be in the living room, I caused a problem. It fit but left no room for a table upon which to set my beverages! Necessity is the mother of invention.To match the chair, I used a combination of quartersawn and strait grained oak. To minimize the footprint, I went with a slant sided bookcase style I had seen in a Stickley catalog. Since my wife is a fan of owls, I purchased a nice art tile from Medicine Bluff Studios to grease the wheels.A few things a purist will notice is the closed shelf on top, and a mysterious hidden slider shelf on one side… The side that faces my chair! Those reading the first paragraph know what the shelf is for. The trick to creating it was accomplished by routing a dado in the slider and using Teflon to make it operate smoothly.The trickiest part of the build is the angled dadoes for the shelves. Had I intended on producing more of these, I would have tried to create a slanted router base. As it went, I spent considerable time with a chisel. Another solution would have been to set the dadoes back from the front by an inch. Live and learn.It came out pretty nice. The wife likes the owl. And my beverages have a perch within arms reach!
