I would put it in the casework class. By the way, it looks fantastic!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15210053142226651829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1946335513933776810.post-14139759078204293452012-02-21T22:37:55.169-05:002012-02-21T22:37:55.169-05:00Jason,

I can turn several samples on the same blank and get a feel for each. Its a great way to size different elements of a molding before using precious stock. <br /><br />I started thinking it could be a case, as it is a large hollow container with drawers. However, after thinking about it, I would argue it is a table, as the framing is not a carcass, but rather four legs with skirt boards (and drawer dividers) joined to them. A top is attached directly above this. Just like my kitchen table (only much nicer!) <br /><br />Good work,<br />JasonJason Breennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1946335513933776810.post-52896919023729761682012-02-19T15:54:32.224-05:002012-02-19T15:54:32.224-05:00Matt

I looked through several museum collection books and found little consistency. Sometimes the piece is in the table section, other times its in the casework section. So its your choice.<br /><br />Herb KettlerAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1946335513933776810.post-57862032944448536892012-02-18T11:14:37.679-05:002012-02-18T11:14:37.679-05:00Great observation that turning is accomplished the...Great observation that turning is accomplished the same way as sticking mouldings. I had never thought about it that way before and upon reflection realize that it is exactly the same except that I don't have multiple sized gouges that perfectly fit the arc I'm shooting for. Maybe that is why my mouldings look better than my turnings. Nice simple solution on the fluting too. The lowboy looks fantastic, nice jobShannonhttp://renaissancewoodworker.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1946335513933776810.post-88989237689711131172012-02-18T07:39:50.375-05:002012-02-18T07:39:50.375-05:00Matt I think a Lowboy could be categorized as tabl...Matt I think a Lowboy could be categorized as table or case work, in fact I think it could be considered case work of the highest order. Lowboys are also considered "dressing tables" but they are definitely tables that require an abundance of case work. Did this help clear things up for you?.....I didn't think so.<br /><br />RonRon Bresehttp://www.breseplane.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1946335513933776810.post-80988337296433848732012-02-17T16:39:51.751-05:002012-02-17T16:39:51.751-05:00Matt, looking forward to seeing this with a finish...Matt, looking forward to seeing this with a finish (am sure you are too).
