RUSTIC FURNITURE
Appropriate for gardens and terraces, as well as for week-end cabins ard cottages, furniture constructed from rustic materials has retained widespre, d
popularity throughout the years writing desk slanted top 17 th century . Its rough-and-ready appearance brings to wi> d n
the hardy pioneers of America, who with the simplest of tools built their o%-n houses, barns, fences, and furniture from materials they chopped out of t re wilderness wolfgang hoffman sofa .
These same materials are at hand today, together with a selection of liar d and power tools not available to those early settlers czechoslovakia silversmiths . For those who have accc-;s to lumber mills or portable sawmills where logs are cut into rough lumber, t ie trimmings, in the form of slabs, are easily obtainable for the construction of sh b furniture japanese antique silver tray . in cities, such slabs can usually be secured from fuel dealer-, in 44t lengths antique streamline stapler . Where possible, slabs should be selected that run between 3 and 6 iin west indian antique mahogany bed . in thickness and 12 in holophane antique . or better in width 1840 american clock . For the backs of chairs or bencl-L-s it is well to choose a few slabs about 6 in antique display . wide and 2 in 1930s club chairs . thick see a silver sauceboat with a heated base .
Saplings whose diameters run between I and 3 in ebay uk kidney dressing tables . are require for legs, arn s, and stretchers british antique wardrobe designs . If available, tamarack will prove an easy wood to work 17th century trestle refectory table . Otherwv,,e any tough wood reasonably free from knots will prove satisfactory gueridon tripartite base table .
wood shrinks considerably, only seasoned material should be used, except when saplings are to be bent antique dresser with drawers stamped 54 . Uniform curves in two or more saplings can be secured by bending them around wooden forms and leaving them to season for a few weeks in a warm dry place arc design in drawing room . Sometimes branches that have grown to the appropriate curves or crotches can be picked up 19th century pennsylvania furniture prices .
In the construction of outdoor rustic furniture, oak, cypress, redwood, pine, and cedar are most satisfactory “chest of drawers” +cherry +1840s . For indoor use in a cabin, or as atmosphere in a rustic rumpus room, lighter woods can be used to advantage because their added thickness will present a sturdier appearance antique oak buffet with bowed sides .
As in all furniture construction, screws are preferred to nails, which are apt to pull out wedgewood neoclassical . This is particularly true of flexible slats on the backs or seats of chairs or benches art deco antiques paris . The screws need not be of brass, bronze, or coated material since their ultimate rusting will blend with the bark or stained effect zebra on a plate made in italy .
The preparation of slabs for furniture depends upon personal preferences freedom nouveau range . If the bark is left on it would appear inconsistent to plane and sand down the cut side of a slab to a commercial smoothness antique spanish candlesticks . Sufficient planing and sanding should be done, however, to insure comfort and remove splinters beilby glass prince of wales feathers newcastle . The presence of saw marks and drawknife strokes serve to enhance the pioneer aspect of rustic furniture epergne antique for sale .
To bugproof the bark a thorough brushing with a mixture of three parts of boiled linseed oil to one part of turpentine will prove effective antique 16th century chestnut spain . Because the application of this mixture to cut surfaces will darken them, it is best to apply spar varnish to the slab tops antique german furniture for sale . In fact, the best practice is to apply spar varnish not only to the raw surfaces but all over the bark, to prevent moisture from seeping in, and eventually causing the bark to loosen and peel off antique table with hided extentions . Should this occur, the loose pieces can be tacked down with uncoated shingle nails oak refectory tables, netherland .
Because of the variation that will be encountered in the available supply of logs, slabs, and saplings, few dimensions are included in the following explanations of rustic furniture construction chinese lacquer bar . Suitable diameters should be selected proportionate to the strain to which the various members will be subjected, and over-all dimensions must be consistent with comfort for a person of average size lacquer artistry art deco .
Stools and Benches vinyl red 1930’s chair . With wide slabs for tops, rustic stools can be constructed in much the same manner as the Early American coffee table described ill t’ e previous chapter (page 81) curule friedrich schinkel . In this case 17-in table antique empire style campaign . saplings for the legs should e selected first, in order to determine the smallest diameter of the tenons antique black secretaire cabinet . As a gage, the bark of the smallest sapling is whittled off with a drawknife to make s nearly round a tenon as possible, which will equal the diameter of an availa e auger bit antique arts and crafts writing table . The latter can then be centered at the cut ends of the other three lets and turned just far enough to scribe circles as gages for whittling antique hepplewhite drop leaf table information . The same I’t can then be jigged to bore the four holes in the slab top pieces epergnes .
When relatively thick slabs and seasoned saplings are used, the leg tenons do not go all the way through the slabs, but can be fox-wedged into their holt,, as shown in A, Figure 3 queen anne antique bureau photo .11 table octagon inlaid drawer european austrian . With green saplings, however, it is best to bore t,e holes all the way through the slabs and wedge the tenons from the top, as in
When the wood dries and shrinks, the wedges can be driven further in or replaced with thicker ones venalainen hopeakalusto .
Rungs and stretchers of smaller saplings are inserted into their holes ill t e legs before the latter are wedged into the top slabs; they can be fastened 1 y means of nails, as illustrated in C viennese chairs . Ali optional method is to wind heavy co rafia, or rawhide thongs around the joint empire pier table . Rawhide should be dampened a> d pulled tight when applied; all wound joints should be spar-varnished to prot• t them from the loosening effects of dampness meissen harlequin kandler .

OUTDOOR FURNITURE
WITHIN the limitations of season and climate, the universal urgetoward outdoor living has become an important trend, which is noticeably reflected in modern architectural design antique desks by wilkinson and son . -New houses are being constructed to afford privacy to verandas, loggias, and patios dutch east india marks . Older houses are having their porches emphasized and their backyards glamorized antique pattern coat of arms . Picture windows and French doors are opening up the outside walls so that the formerly sporadically used porches and terraces have become integrated into the home as “outdoor rooms french table stretcher draw leaf .”
This flowing of the home’s interior into the open air has naturally exerted certain influences upon porch and lawn furniture design, as well as on exterior decoration neo-classical side chair . While comfort durability- remain paramount considerations, the “outdoor living room” conception has introduced a diversity in utility and styling
Y utility
formerly lacking antique gate leg table very narrow . This is especially noticeable where protection from weathering exists, either due to overhead cover or climatic conditions ruba glass factory in italy . Under the-*– favorable circumstances outdoor furniture very properly merges with its more delicate-appearing indoor counterparts antiques lamps made by universal statuary co. .
Construction Details urn cutlery box . In general, however, it is the accepted fate of outdoor furniture to be left to the mercy of the elements for weeks and months at a time 1700s brass tea caddy . This requires a rugged type of construction whose basic simplicity makes optional the use of the more complicated forms of joinery robert adam dining tables . Since there is no need to hide the heads of screws or nails, the lowly butt joint may well come into its own, and a simple set of hand tools suffice for all operations, with the possible exception of the cutting of satisfactorily rounded wheels mihalik art pottery ashtray . If these are not obtainable from a local lumber mill or woodworking shop, it is often possible to utilize the disk wheels from toy wagons or scooters, particularly when the finished piece is to be painted voc dutch furniiture chest photos . It should be observed in passing that galvanized screws and nails are sufficient for this outside construction, unless salt air is prevalent double gate-leg table antique . Tn the latter case brass or bronze screws and cement-coated or copper nails will furnish the necessary corrosive resistance royal court floral bone china hand made & painted by craftsman staffordshire . Where glue is used it should, of course, be waterproof c19 commodes .
Choice of Wood art nouveau france origins . When selecting a wood for outdoor construction it is well to choose a heartwood that is relatively resistant to decay; the untreated sapwood of nearly all species has a low resistance to decay ebay - 8 legged mahogany drop leaf dining table . As noted in Chapter r, the different species of woods are decay-resistant to varying degrees antique bentwood chair kohn . The Forest Products Laboratory of the U french drawing room furnature .S antique table wooden hinge drop leaf . Department of Agriculture lists native heartwoods tinder the following five catagories:

Finish leaves for old oak table? . Hand in hand with the selection of the kind of wood goes the choice of finish antique worcester porcelain factory+grainger . For white and colored effects, a good grade of lead and oil gloss paint applied in at least three coats will suffice under normal conditions dog kennel dressers . At the seashore, or wherever salt air is prevalent, it is advisable to substitute 15 to 20 per cent zinc white for a like amount of white lead antique 6 ft. st. louis credenza values . Since the zinc requires more oil to break it down, it should be mixed separately before adding it to the lead mixture mahogany cellaret .
Mildew may develop oil paint that is continuously exposed to damp, humid, and shady conditions, especially when the paint film is soft antique dressing table maple venner . White paint containing both lead and zinc requires a minimum of oils and therefore dries so hard that it is highly resistant to mildew 1930 upholstered chair . Darker paints require more oil and are consequently more subject to mildew antique narrow drop leaf table .
Mildew Prevention dog kennel dressers . Although some ready-mixed paints now contain a mildew-preventive compound, the home painter can procure his own fungicide and add it to his prepared paint without difficulty dressers with shelves on the side . To harden the film, the oil that has risen to the top of the unstirred paint is poured off at the rate of one pint to the gallon of mixture 19century british armschairs . This is replaced by one-half pint of turpentine to each gallon of paint verlys smoke glass . The additional preventive of an ounce of mercurous chloride
(calomel), dissolved in the turpentine before mixing, will produce a paint whose hard, fungus-proof film will be highly resistant to the sooty or rusty mildew deposits georgian telescopic silver candlestick .
Colors antique english ironstone . The choice of colors is a matter of personal taste canterbury music stand . Garden furniture is commercially finished in an unobtrusive green or in the universally satisfactory white, which is prone to chalking japanese botanical motifs . Nowadays there are available durable, sun-resistant enamels with alkyd-resin bases, and for furniture constantly exposed to still and weather it may prove advisable to finish with an automobile enamel napolean empire furniture . Whatever the medium used, the home painter call indulge his or her fancies in two color applications tavolino giapponese realizzato in lacca e avorio . With a bright flower garden or shrubbery background providing the dominant color note, the furniture can well be subordinated by using contrastingly cold colors, such as a French gray and blue dining room table made from huge clock . On a tiled terrace, or against a brick wall, the warm colors of the bricks might be picked up images antique table wares ming dynasty .’a the furniture seats or table tops, with the brown door and window trim reflected in the legs and uprights antique stanford refectory table with end leafs . Suggested color combinations are included in Chapter
Finishing Methods black stone top coffee table octagon antique . When it comes to the matter of application, there are many amateur painters who are either unmethodical in their procedures, or are so engrossed in appearance and color that they lose sight of the fact that the primary reason for painting any outdoor construction is to preserve it antique fluted leg desk . This is likely to result in the omission of large areas concealed from sight, which receive no benefit of a protective paint film antique rococo figurines . By upending the piece of furniture and painting the lower parts first, not only will the unseen surfaces receive their share of paint preservative, but much bending of back or knees will be avoided 16th century royalty dining room tables . Special attention should be paid to all sides and crevices of joints, where water can enter and remain to the detriment of end grains marcel breuer pel . A spray gun is most useful at these points antique sofa made in italy .
Furniture constructed from milled lumber that is to be stained or finished “natural” must have its pores thoroughly closed to resist the corrosive effects of weathering 17th cent refectory table . The matter of fillers and finishes is thoroughly covered in Chapter 5; it is well to remember, however, that a final coat of a good grade of exterior spar varnish is excellent weatherproofing antique 18th century soldiers chest . If spare time is rationed, it is good practice to coat the raw wood with raw linseed oil as partial protection until the final finish can be applied, at some later date art deco antiques contemporary world paris .
In conclusion it is suggested that the styling and, to some extent, the finish Of most outdoor furniture described in this chapter are such that it will render year-round recreational service indoors in the rumpus room, when seasonal changes curtain off the extra “outdoors room bronze+chrome+sculpure+josephine baker .” Peasant painting with a protection coating of spar varnish will enliven the recreational hours, both indoors and out antique apostle spoons . The sturdy nature of the construction is suitable for withstanding hard usage by teen• CHAIRS
Two characteristics strongly accented in most outdoor chairs are a strong, weatherproof type of construction and extreme concessions to comfort 1800’s reproduction dining room tables . Since the emphasis in outdoor living is placed upon leisure, the lines of the popular types of chairs are more relaxed, with the backs tilted to semireclining angles, to encourage easy lounging breakfront bookcase with secretaire . Colorful, waterproof fabrics are available to cover the cushions that replace the indoor upholstery, with woven rope often substituted for the familiar steel springs german harlequin artist 1940’s .
Folding wood or metal chairs are resorted to when space consideration are paramount pembroke pedestal table rosewood . In other cases chairs and settees may assume massive proportions walnut +scalloped +table +victorian +breakfast table . Mobility can be restored to this type of furniture by the addition of a pair of wheels attached to one pair of legs, as is explained later vintage mahogany drop leaf table 1940 .

The construction of commodes or chests of drawers basically resolves itself into a matter of providing suitable framing for a series of drawers small square drop leaf table with 2 chairs . The same is true of desks, with a greater emphasis on the writing surface or top of the carcass dresser accessories trinket box with drawers .
Drawer Construction burr walnut antiques . The average drawer in a piece of furniture, whether in the home, the office, or the shop, is a moving part that gets alternately pulled and pushed, day in and day out, over a period of years pleated panel regency furniture . Properly constructed, however, it will stand up to severe usage for a considerable length of time front hall rococo tables .
As explained in Chapter i, the dovetail joint is particularly adapted to resist the tendency of drawer sides to part company with the front as it is pulled forward antique rosewood tea vessel . Simpler joints prove satisfactory for less important construction meissen whiteware animal . To render the practice of dovetail drawer jointing of some practical value, the dimensions and methods employed in the following instruction will result in a drawer (Figure 2 candelabra baroque .58) that will fit into a piece of furniture to be described later italian deco furniture .
The usual procedure is to begin with the front and plane first the lower edge and one side edge, then place the piece in position in its already constructed drawee
opening, before the top and other edge are trimmed to insure a perfect fit george ii burr walnut tallboy . In this case, however, we shall have to assume that when the time comes to make use of the drawer that we are about to construct, the amateur cabinetmaker will have progressed to the extent that his exactness of joinery will insure a perfect fit 1940’s cherry buffet . Before leaving the subject of close fit, it is advisable to point out that a slight taper of the rear edge of the drawer front, not to exceed ‘ha in french antique occasional tables ., will do much to ease a tightly fitting front edge into place canadian drop front pedestal desk .
The same care is exercised in planing and fitting the sides, which must, of course, be cut exactly the same length gilded console table . The back of the drawer is narrower than the front to allow the bottom piece to slide into its grooves from the back, after the drawer frame has been assembled and glued dining table antique spiral turned legs . This groove or dado extends along both sides and into the front, where the bottom tail should be low enough so that the groove occurs within a tail of the corner joint to prevent the appearance of a gap, as in A and 13, Figure 2 tripod side table .58 when were tea tables first used .
Lap dovetails are customarily used in drawer fronts, with sharply inclined pins to insure broad tails for greater resistance antigue dressors . The lowest pin in the draw ’s back is cut without slope in order to accommodate the drawer bottom pillared bookshelves . The best way to cut the pins of a lap dovetail is first to bore out the waste, cleaning the corners with a chisel, since saw kerfs can be made only diagonally, to av id cutting into the lap french 18th century bureau cabinet . Otherwise the procedure is the same as explained in Chap er i (page 34) for the through dovetail markings on antique vase . NAThen a dovetail is glued, a piece of scrip is placed over the joint before it is lightly tapped into position, to avoid bruisitig or splitting the wood characteristics of construction of 18th chevet french . Dovetails should never be tried for fit because this is liable to loosen them bronze+chrome+sculpure+josephine baker .
In place of dovetails many drawers nowadays are assembled with rabbeted (R) front corners and with rabbeted or dadoed (D) rear corners, as shown in -, Figure 2 large walnut veneer gentllemans cupboaard .58 secretaire chest of drawers . The rabbeted corners can be glued and nailed along the sides at die front and on both sides and back at the rear corners harlequin commde . As with the dovetail corn r, the bottom is slid under the narrower back member along its grooves in sides a id front, being bradded to the bottom edge of the back czecheslovakia luster ware . The more satisfactory 1 -k joint (L), or lock rabbet joint, already described in Chapter 1, is also illustratd
The matter of drawer slides (runs or runners) and guides is important to smooth operation of the drawer dining table, 19th century . As shown in A, Figure 2 antique english column candlesticks .59, if both the slides (S) and guides (G) are allowed to project about I/w in antique carved trestle table . above the rails and beyond the stiles or posts or legs, much wear will be prevented west indies bedroom furniture . They should not, however, extend below the rails, thus interfering with the drawer beneath or its contents rosewood and brass inlaid dining room furniture . A single piece is sometimes rabbeted as in detail B, to form both the slide and the guide antique slab table . Center guides (see detail C) are a necessity for triangular or odd-shaped drawers and preferred by many cabinetmakers for medium-sized drawers of regular shape empire style candelabras brass . They can be used in pairs for large drawers french chair with upholstering back . Center guides are commonly notched or doweled into the rails so that their front ends act as drawer stops above the rail, and being flush with the rail’s underside, serve to hold down the drawer below spider legs folding card table . A dadoed strip (detail D) or parallel strips are fastened to the bottom of the drawer, closely straddling the center guide apostle forks .
Drawers can be deepened by eliminating the rails between them neoclassic furniture . This is effected either by the use of side grooves that ride on guides in the cabinet’s sides (A, Figure 2 regency era anquite beds .6o), or by the use of projecting drawer bottoms that slidr between

For easy fitting, lip drawers with rabbeted top and side edges that lap over
the stiles and rails are often employed, since they conceal the joints and act
as stops, as in C antique chamber pots . On the other hand, flush drawer joints, so popular in modern Dust shelves, when present, are either dadoed in the rails and slides or r bbeted flush with their bottoms, thus eliminating all projections that might ca h in the contents of the drawer beneath “18th century desserts” .
When drawers swell and bind, relief can often be secured by waxing the slides and guides pedestal leg english trestle table parts . Heavy drawers that bind are often in need of additional slide a center one, if side slides are in use, or side guides for drawers on center slides,

Their use has been further augmented by the application of common sense to modern decorating methods, stressing the central theme of comfort for the room’s occupants antique italian china markings . Thus we now have a profusion of side and end tables from which to select the proper lamp stand, or the most effective book, magazine, smoking accessory or beverage holder to fit the given height of a favorite armchair, loveseat or davenport 1600 century scroll back chair . Larger forms include gateleg, drop-leaf and extension features that permit the decorative side table to double as a dining or gaining unit antique sideboard cabinet 8 feet high with glass . The vogue for Colonial New England or Pennsylvania Dutch pieces has resurrected such interesting “folklore furniture” as the Lazy Susan, hutch, harvest, sawbuck and trestle tables, augmented by milk benches, cobblers’ benches, and a galaxy of straight, spool-turned, or richly carved gateleg tables with round, oval, triangular, octagonal, and other whimsically shaped but generally symmetrical tops i.i.e. exclusive capodimonte . No matter what the form or finish, however, the construction of a satisfactory table depends upon the two basic elements of sturdiness and utility loudon florals 1783-1843 .
Table nomenclature in most respects parallels that of chairs wash stands antique . The underframing that connects the legs and helps support the table top is customarily formed from two to four pieces of lumber tenoned or doweled edgewise into the tops of the legs and referred to as “aprons 19 c entree dish handle .” When these parts consist of narrower pieces set flat side up against the top, they are known as “rails “lorraine” style of furniture 1940’s .”

The lug pictured in C is likewise allowed to slide in its slot if the rep shrinks jan van mekeren .
The usual practice in good cabinetmaking is to connect rails to legs by mea s of lapped dovetails as shown in detail D antique japanese black lacquer round tea table . Narrow rails of this type are common in commodes, bureaus, chiffoniers, and desks, whose tops call be secured by means of medium-sized screws through the rails vintage art deco rococo watch .
Legs beaded and decorated candalabras . In addition to square legs there are, in general, four divergent forms in common use, the tapered leg, the rounded leg, the turned leg, and the cabrio’ antique bachelor wardrobe .e leg antique chairs 1600 s all wood carved .
Tapered legs may have two sides slanted, or all four robert adams marquetry . The symmetry of a tapered leg depends upon an accurate layout on the original squared stock early 19th century mahogany desks with lion feet . Tile amount of taper having been determined, the horizontal distance is marked at the foot of both edges of one side of the leg germany furniture buffet . With a straightedge these marlis are connected with their corresponding upper (thick) corners antique porcelain food warmer . The same is done on the opposite side to insure uniformity as the taper is planed, or band-saw Ed and planed down to the lines on both sides of the leg french antique bedside chamber pot cupboards . Such a leg is set in a piece of furniture with the tapered sides inward, to suggest a splayed effect from tile front george 1 mahogany stool . A continuation of the marking and cutting processes oil the other side will produce a graceful leg tapering on all four sides cornice antique .

into octagonal cross sections and planing, spokeshaving, filing, and sanding the edges until cylinders result 18th century drinking glasses .
Turned legs are produced on a lathe in designs varying from the very simple to richly ornate antique cupboard value .
Cabriole legs at first glance appear difficult of manufacture george iii pembroke table . They are not hard to produce, however, provided it is always remembered that a single pattern or templet is to be used for both sides small table tripod base antique . Hence the original stock must be wide enough to accommodate the maximum curve of the templet in both directions, see Figure

Reeding characteristics of 19th century furniture - england . Reeding is a carving process frequently applied to turned legs resulting in a series of equal, convex, longitudinal divisions, or “reeds art deco upholstery .” In order to insure uniformity, a strip of paper whose length is equal to the circumference of the turned leg is marked into equal divisions of the desired width of the reeds chinese qing porcelains . When the strip is wrapped around the turning, the marks can easily be transferred to the circumference of the piece antique 1700 silver tea pot .
For working, a bottomless reeding box (Figure 2 antique carved gateleg end table .26) is constructed a fraction longer than the turning thirties rocking chair .
