Arts and Crafts-Style Nightstand

Based on the design motifs of the arts and crafts style of the 1920s, the mission table in this Wood Works project features strong horizontal lines, mortise-and-tenon joinery and a natural wood finish. Quarter-sawn white oak makes for a distinctive grain pattern that is a trademark of this period style, and subtle details such as the beveled through-tenons add to the refined look of the piece.
