Furniture and Cabinetmaking – Issue 318

In issue 318 of Furniture & Cabinetmaking you’ll find plenty to inspire and inform your furniture making.

In our Projects section, Israel Martin’s new hobby prompts him to make a chestnut and pine sewing box; Germán Peraire makes a functional yet decorative filing cabinet; Beatriz Zuazo uses reclaimed wood from her own workshop to make a pair of jewellery boxes; Andres Carbonell builds a table and benches using Petiribi timber; Dennis Zongker continues work on his Chippendale-style chairs by making the cabriole legs and carving the decorations; Jim Bennett repairs the top of a Victorian tilting table; Louise Biggs makes an oak dining set; Amber Bailey adds a peacock marquetry design to the top of a vintage piano stool; Andrew Potocnik demonstrates the turner’s skill with his bar stool; and Michael Pekovich adds bold curves and subtle tapers to an elegant table.

In Techniques, we share a guide to the scrub plane; and Israel Martin presents one of his favourite joints for table making.

In Features, we learn about the 50th anniversary of the Cambridge Open Studios; and bespoke furniture company NEJ Stevenson celebrates 40 years in the business.

We also have profiles of talented designer-makers Erin Erber; the Alexander Brothers; Joshua Evans; Sean Evelegh; and Kendall Cahan.
