I have read with great interest Jeff Headley's method for creating classic quarter columns as presented in the March/April 2010 issue of Fine Woodworking. I have a question for Jeff or anyone that has used that method to produce columns.  The cradle suggested in the article seems to be intended...

Does anyone recall an article posted (or published) on carving a Phila cartouche?  I seem to remember something by Gene Landon but can't recall where I've seen it.  I just finished reviewing Mary May's excellent 5-part video and must say that it's very compelling but wanted to see what else...

Hi, I am in the process of designing and constructing a Phila. Highchest with a full bonnet and I have a question.  On several pieces that I've studied, at the top of the gooseneck, the bonnet seems to have a full roll front to back.  I was wondering how that construction was accomplished? ...

I am building a High chest that has applied leaf carvings to the center drawer of the lower section.  I've already caved a shell into the drawer front and fit the drawer front to the opening.  I have also cut and fit all of the dovetails on the front, sides, and back.  My question is what is...

Hi to all, I'm in need of a contact who can turn three small pulls for the cubby drawers for a desk that I'm finishing for my daughter.  The drawers are in cherry and measure approx. 13-in. wide by 3-in. high.  She would like to have wood pulls.  I was thinking of a dark contrasting wood such...

All, I'm starting a desk on frame for my daughter but the design she has chosen (a copy she liked) is a bit different.  Instead of the fall front, her desk will be 31 or so inches deep and will not be closed as a fall front would enable.  The sides will have a nice Roman ogee sweep from back to...
