We have suggested the use of a framed 3/4" hardwood plywood top on this 34" deep, 72" wide, and 29" high table -- the plywood top option will simulate the thick planking which is otherwise necessary for such a large surface. A "thumb molding" is shown for the table edges along with "bread-board" end battens, both typical Shaker features found on authentic pieces.

All joinery is shown in actual size, curved workpieces are all in full size and you can measure and trace straight from the drawing. A bill of materials doubles as an exact cutting list, there is a detailed exploded diagram, and all hardware requirements are provided. The exploded diagram is so detailed that project specific assembly instructions are not provided. A special booklet entitled Guide to Building Wood Furniture is included with each Furniture Designs, Inc. plan and includes many tips explaining the "component theory" of woodworking.
