Furniture and Cabinetmaking – Issue 313

In issue 313 of Furniture & Cabinetmaking you’ll find plenty to inspire and inform your furniture making.

In our Projects section, Israel Martin builds a cherry cabinet with a curved drawer front; Beatriz Zuazo explores ‘Duality’ as she makes a pair of marquetry bedside tables; Thomas Eddolls receives a prestigious commission to make a bench to showcase the work of nine master crafters; Dennis Zongker ‘paints in wood’ as he works on the marquetry top for his hallway table; Michael T Collins turns a piece of waste wood into a useful side table; Kevin Ley makes a maple rocking chair in a traditional style; Christopher Clark makes a walnut box to house an antique gun and comes up with a unique hinge design in the process; Steve Bisco turns a chair-side table from solid oak; Louise Biggs restores an old bureau that was suffering the effects of damp; Kevin Alviti steps out of his comfort zone to make bespoke wooden handles; and Alan Holtham makes a useful storage unit.

In Techniques, John Bullar demonstrates how to make lapped dovetail joints for drawer fronts; and Asa Christiana masters mitre joints by making a small box.

In Features, we showcase the outstanding work of graduates from the Chippendale International School of Furniture; and we discover more about Bill Bailey’s Master Crafters, the Sky Arts series that will feature Thomas Eddolls’ bench.

We also have profiles of talented designer-makers Marc Spagnuolo (aka the Wood Whisperer); Doc Wright; Edward Johnson; Christine Layton; and Thomas Philpott.
