A quaint 18" deep, 42" wide plank top table with pierced, vase shaped end boards. The stretchers are connected by wedged trusses. The antiquated 17th century design is 16" high and should be made of oak, walnut, or pine. It is very easy for the beginner to build. 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.
