Craftsman End Table
This narrow end table isn't just a traditional Craftsman project. For a woodworker, it's got a few secrets that are worth a closer look.
This Craftsman-style end table combines timeless design with clever woodworking techniques. Built from quartersawn white oak and featuring classic mortise and tenon joinery, square legs, and decorative spindles, it offers all the hallmarks of traditional Craftsman furniture—but with some unexpected modern twists.
Instead of tedious individual spindle joinery, a smart notched-strip technique simplifies construction without compromising appearance. The shelf design also features hidden grooves and notches that allow for seasonal wood movement while maintaining a clean, seamless look.
Best of all, the table includes a hidden drawer compartment—an ingenious detail that adds both charm and functionality. Whether you're drawn to the iconic Craftsman aesthetic or looking to expand your woodworking skills with clever joinery solutions, this project delivers an elegant piece with a few fun surprises built in.
