Arts & Crafts Side Table

Build a Limbert-inspired Arts & Crafts side table featuring splined leg joinery and a sturdy oak top in this detailed woodworking plan.

Inspired by the refined style of Charles Limbert, this Arts & Crafts side table is a small-scale project with big design impact. Featuring subtle tapers, clean bevels, and seamless joinery, this project is a rewarding challenge for intermediate woodworkers looking to hone their pattern routing skills.

The design pays tribute to Limbert’s distinct blend of Gustav Stickley’s simplicity, Charles Rennie Mackintosh’s visual flair, and Dutch Arts & Crafts influence. Slab-style oak legs taper from bottom to top, creating a lighter, more elegant visual profile. The panels are joined with splines for strength and stability, while the 1"-thick tabletop adds a solid, Craftsman-style presence.

Despite its compact size, this side table offers a variety of lessons in precision woodworking. From the angled cuts to the tight-fitting joinery, each part comes together in a build that’s as rewarding as the final piece is beautiful.

Whether you're outfitting a Craftsman home or simply love the details of Arts & Crafts furniture, this Limbert-inspired side table makes a stylish and functional addition to any room.
