![]() One of the ongoing challenges of writing for a magazine is fitting everything in 6 pages. ![]() The Stickley Poppy Table is one of the projects featured in my new book “Classic Arts & Crafts Furniture: 14 Timeless Designs”. I received more mail and pictures about this project than any other I’ve made for the magazine. In addition to being a favorite of mine, it has also been a favorite of the magazine’s readers. It’s hard to make the claim that Gus Stickley could only design heavy, clunky, rectilinear furniture when you see this little gem. It’s a rare piece, from early in Stickley’s career and most people are a bit surprised to discover who designed it, and that the design is more than 110 years old. One of my favorites is from 2007, a mahogany reproduction of the Gustav Stickley Poppy Table. For the last 9 years, I’ve been building mostly pieces I want to build for my day job at Popular Woodworking Magazine. When I was a self employed furniture maker and cabinetmaker I didn’t have much choice about what I would build, it was mostly a matter of what a client wanted and was willing to pay for.
