Oak Sofa Table
Build this Mission-style sofa table with classic joinery, quartersawn oak, authentic mortise and tenon joinery, and smart design for wood movement.
This classic Mission-style sofa table features all the hallmark details that define Craftsman furniture: quartersawn white oak, square spindles, and time-honored mortise and tenon joinery. It’s a handsome piece that brings warmth and character to any living space, while offering both function and authenticity. The wide top and lower shelf provide plenty of surface area for display or storage, making it as practical as it is stylish.
A key design choice in this project is using solid wood over plywood. The top and shelf are built from quartersawn oak, prized for its stability, striking grain pattern, and traditional appeal. To accommodate seasonal wood movement, the plan includes smart techniques like Z-shaped fasteners and extended grooves for a durable, long-lasting fit. Finished with a light cherry stain and protective oil-urethane blend, this sofa table offers a rich tone and satin sheen that enhances the beauty of the wood. Whether you're furnishing a craftsman-style home or simply love mission-inspired design, this project delivers heirloom quality results.
