Often called "Tip-Top" or "Tilt-Top", these tables are beautiful pieces. This table design is patterned after a museum piece dated circa 1750. We have chosen to show a plain 31" diameter top rather than a dish top (or piecrust top). Both carved claw-and-ball foot, as well as an alternate snake foot which is much easier to make are both shown on the plan. The crow's nest, which allows the top to both tilt and turn (for showing off your fine finishing technique) is shown in detail on the full size plan.

All joinery is shown in actual size, curved workpieces are all in full size and you can measure and trace straight from the drawing. A bill of materials doubles as an exact cutting list, there is a detailed exploded diagram, and all hardware requirements are provided. The exploded diagram is so detailed that project specific assembly instructions are not provided. A special booklet entitled Guide to Building Wood Furniture is included with each Furniture Designs, Inc. plan and includes many tips explaining the "component theory" of woodworking.
