Craftsman Library Table

This timeless, Craftsman library table is built with through-tenons, corbels, and clean lines. It's a rewarding woodworking project that will last a lifetime.

The Craftsman Library Table captures the timeless appeal of early 20th-century design with clean lines, honest joinery, and a focus on utility. This step-by-step woodworking plan walks you through building a solid frame with traditional through-tenon joinery, subtly curved corbels, and a beefy top—all signature elements of Craftsman-style furniture. The result is a piece that feels as sturdy and grounded as it looks, with proportions that work well in a variety of spaces.

While the design is rooted in simplicity, there’s plenty to enjoy in the build. You’ll learn how to cut and assemble frame components using traditional techniques that emphasize strength and precision. Whether you use it as a writing desk, console table, or a place to showcase your favorite books, this project combines practical function with lasting style.

With detailed plans, full-color photos, and helpful tips, this woodworking project is a satisfying challenge for intermediate builders and a beautiful way to sharpen your skills.
