Mission style coffee table - What would Gustav Stickley do??
I'm starting to design plans to build a mission style coffee table out
of qtr sawn white oak with flake. I'd like to capture as many design elements from the classic mission style era as possible. One of them is the characteristic spindles in the ends. I see two different styles: Square spindles: http://www.furnitureontheweb.com/NoF...-yahooshopping Slat spindles: http://www.furnitureontheweb.com/nof.../008644nf.html Is one more representative of true Stickley design? Are there any Stickly guidelines for slat width vs. spacing or just I just go with whatever my preferance is? I'd also like to get that classical mission style color that contrasts the "tiger" oak. Any suggestions on a stain (water, oil, or dye) that works particularly well for creating a mission style finish. I probably won't be able to fume it in ammonia. Here's a representative sample of the end finish I'd like to achive: http://www.hilestudio.com/prodpage/occtable/hs4472.html Any links pertaining to designing mission and building mission style style furniture would be very helpful. TIA |
