Tom Meiller's Chippendale Breakfast Table

Click on thumbnail for full size image

 

  I made this Chippendale Breakfast Table based on one Gene Landon made. I measured and photographed Gene's table last November. Gene's table was based on one he saw in an auction catalogue, and is attributed to Adam Hains, Philadelphia.

Auction catalogue (Gene kept it in his table's drawer)

My table differs from Gene's in that I used mahogany (Gene's and the original are walnut), and I also carved a molding detail on the table's edge.

           

Dimensions: 28 5/8 high x ~19.5 wide (sides down) x 31 1/2 deep. 41 7/8 wide with side up.

Primary wood: Mahogany

Secondary woods: Poplar drawer side, drawer runners and hinged rail backers, White pine drawer bottom and glue blocks, red oak hinge pins.

Finish: Yellow dye and walnut husk stain with about 10 thin brushed coats of orange shellac. Glazed with burnt umber and oil, then waxed

The drawer front and lower rail are from the same piece of figured mahogany. This piece was actually a cutoff from another project, and was in my firewood pile!
