From reader Charles R. Jenkins:
Here is the picture of a little Queen Ann Dressing Table and Chair that I made for my Granddaughter. It is made from Walnut Wood with a Tung Oil Finish.

I built this Arts & Crafts-inspired Wine Cabinet back in 2003 for the August issue.
What’s your favorite furniture style? What’s your least favorite? Funny how a couple simple questions can get a guy thinking…
The other day I was browsing the forums of woodworking.com and ran across an interesting thread discussing this topic:
http://www.woodworking.com/
dcforum/DCForumID8/16138.html
We’ve all got our favorites, I’m sure. Mission and Shaker prompted the most lively responses. Some folks love these two styles, while others clearly don’t. Personally, I’m a fan of both. I like furniture that accentuates wood more than ornamentation, so Mission resonates well with me.
Lately, my third-grade daughter’s pencil drawings are making me wonder if woodworking could be a genetic trait.
When I was her age, I was drawing Peanuts characters, spaceships and some really scary monsters—at least in my estimation. My kiddo Barrett, on the other hand, is drawing tables and chairs these days…in three dimensions, no less! She draws lots of other things too. There are still plenty of puppy and kitty pictures intermingled with her furniture stuff, but tables and chairs are definitely on her mind.
You can just imagine how that goes over with her woodworking father!

A great project that will complement nearly any decor; it can be built in a couple of weekends.
Although traditional white oak would be a great choice, we decided that with its exceptionally long and straight-grained appearance, quartersawn longleaf pine lumber was a perfect selection for this Arts & Crafts inspired bookcase.
Harris Lebus Library Bureau
This eye-catching reproduction piece displays many of the signature aspects of the British Arts & Crafts style, including a chamfered crown, muntins in the glazed doors, gentle arches in the paneled doors, solid sidewalls and splayed feet. It’s an ambitious project with lots of parts but well worth the effort to tackle.
Modular Barrister's Bookcase
We’ll forgive you if you have a burgeoning home library-it’s tough to resist the urge to collect books, even in today’s world of instant media and DVDs. If you’re looking for a neat and attractive way to store your volumes, these modular bookcases just might be the ticket. Start with two or three and build more as the need arises.
Clamping Station
Organize all your clamps and glue-up supplies within arm’s reach, and enjoy the advantages of the space-saving fold-down clamping table – you’ll never have to scrape glue off your workbench again.
Bat House Bungalow
Unless you enjoy sharing the great outdoors with mosquitoes, horse flies and other pesky insects, we’d all do well building a few bat houses for more bug-free living. This simple project will keep bats living outside instead of in your attic, and it’s a great way to improve their habitat. You can build one in just a few hours.
