Side Table
Maple, Shaker proportions, hand-cut dovetails, an ebonized knob.
A Shaker form, and a hard one to improve on. The legs taper on their two inner faces only, so the table looks light from every angle without ever looking spindly, and the apron sweeps up into each leg in a curve rather than a corner. The top overhangs just enough to cast a shadow line.
The drawer is where the work hides. Half-blind dovetails, cut by hand, hold the front to the sides — you only ever see them when the drawer is open, which is precisely the point. The knob is turned from the same stock and ebonized, one dark note against all that pale maple.
