A Master Class in Learning to Saw and Shape Curves
Charles Limbert is known for his almost whimsical Art & Crafts designs. Flowing curves that contrast sharply with the Stickley and McIntosh designs and his love of using negative space. The 244 showcases the Limbert style beautifully and provides an excellent course in cutting curves with a hand saw and learning to use spokeshaves and rasps to refine and sculpt the perfect curves. The project also is a great opportunity to teach how to derive your plans and templates from a photograph.
This little table will find a place anywhere in your home and blends nicely with whatever style of furniture is already there. I bet you may even find yourself making several more for friends and family.

Limbert 244 Table for $50
As Usual, we build it all with hand tools...
No electrons were harmed during the building of this table. The joinery all hand cut and the curve cutting and shaping done with a turning saw and spokeshave.
