Modern cabinet work, furniture & fitments; an account of the theory & practice in the production of all kinds of cabinet work & furniture with chapters on the growth and progress of design and construction; illustrated by over 1000 practical workshop drawings, photographs & original designs . An Oak Bureau on Stand. of the Continental New Art style, purchased by Sir George Donaldson, whopresented it to the nation. The exhibit generally displays excellent technique inexecution, both in wood and metal work, and there are some fine examples ofinlaying. On the other hand, many of the designs are quite unsuitable for thematerials employed, and require bent wood in executing them, which, however TABLES AND FRAMED-UP WORK 127 carefully it may be done in furniture, always has a natural tendency to springback. The example given is in good proportion, and except for the carved kneeparts is an effective piece, with good moulded legs and top. The construction iseffected by cutting the legs to profile, and framing up with moulded rails. Thecarving is then executed, and continued or run off on to the rail [flnnwnnnnritTTnnT) tllil Holly Stationery Case. An Oak Bureau (see opposite). The example shown, upon a stand with turned legs, illustrates thenecessary arrangement and construction of this class of work. The stand is dovetailed together with the anglesbraced as shown in f. 1, and a mould-ing mitred round front and ends. Thecarcase ends need special mentionhere, as they are common, with butslight variations, to all bureaux. Itwill be seen from the sectional view,that the front line of end does notcarry through, but is curved roundthe edge of fall. This is necessary toconceal the end grain of thefall, a small part of whichwould otherwise projectbeyond the carcase old bureaux havethis small part glued on,but this is not always satis-factory, and to ensure thenecessary strength the ends should be cut from the solid.
