| Here are some examples of the tables and chairs I have made over the years: |
DRAW LEAF TABLE WITH CHAIRS
This is a large draw-leaf table. On each end a
leaf can be pulled out and lifted into place,
extending the table by 12" on each end.
Table & chairs shown are made of red oak.

| The chairs are high back (about 42") and a very comfortable. |
| Note the 5" square legs |
| This draw-leaf table is of the same design, but smaller and made in ash. The chairs are the same style as those on the right, only in ash. |
| Pedestal Tables Most of the pedestal tables that I have seen have a hollow column with the feet held on with lag bolts. This results in a top heavy table that needs the hardware tightened on occasion. My pedestal tables, whether large or small, have a solid wood column (about 7" to 8" diameter on the large tables), with the feet dovetailed in the column, using a sliding dovetail. This not only makes the table solid in construction, but gives it a lower center of gravity for greater stability. |
| 42" round extension pedestal table in red oak. Opens to 64" with two leaves. |
| Small occasional round table in ash, probably 24" round |
| Similar 42" round table with only one leaf |
| 42" round table in ash (goes with the breakfast nook set shown below) |
Breakfast Nook set
This is a 42" round pedestal table with two
bow-back chairs and a 48" long Shaker bench, all
made in ash. The feet of the table are dovetailed
into the center column, which is solid & not hollow
like most tables columns.

| Shaker splay-legged drop leaf table This table, made in cherry is 36" long and about 28" wide when fully opened. The legs are splayed (on an angle). Note also the rule-joint detail for the drop leafs. This by far, is my favorite table design. Probably because of it's simplicity of design, yet more complex then a regular table because of all the angled joints. |
| Similar tables made in cherry, both 36" wide and 60" long. Only difference is in style of legs. |
| table with 4 1/2 square legs |
| Shaker style table, with 2" square leg |
| Here is a similar table, though it is 48 inches in diameter, with two leaves and made of solid cherry. |
