Dining Tables

Dining Tables by Kim Carleton Graves with Masha Zager

"Dining Tables" is one of the "Master Craftsman" project books from The Taunton Press. Other books in the series include Beds, Bookcases, Desks, and Tables. Plans and construction details are given for nine dining tables in a variety of styles from seventeenth-century through contemporary. The book is not just a project book, but a reference for the beginning and intermediate woodworker. Stock selection and preparation, solid wood methods, mortise and tenon joints, biscuit joinery, miters, compound miters, basic and advanced veneer work, torsion box construction, inlays, pattern routing, vacuum pressing, and production methods are all covered. If you're interested in reading parts of the book, Amazon.com has a short excerpt. The publisher, The Taunton Press, has a complete chapter online. "Dining Tables" is also a design book; it shows how to use the techniques to design your own table. We hope "Dining Tables" will be a good first book for aspiring woodworkers and a basic reference as your skills progress.
