Plan for Becksvoort cabinet
I am trying to locate a measured drawing or plan for the cabinet designed by Christian Becksvoort and pictured on p. 22 of his book “The Shaker Legacy.” Anyone know where I might find that? (An email addressed to Mr. Becksvoort through this site has brought no response.) Thanks, Ken Rosenberg

I believe I used the plan as described in the book itself. It was also the subject of a FWW article in the late 90's. I made many alterations, but the piece was a success. Todd
Thanks for your response and that is a lovely piece, but it's not the one I'm after--a sort of lingerie-chest type cabinet with lots of small drawers. There are no measurements or plan in the Shaker Legacy book. Ken
I doubt if Chris would divulge much about this piece as this is part of his portfolio that he makes a living from. Check out http://www.chbecksvoort.com and under "CASES" you will see this piece, which he sells for $6,900.
Thanks for the link. Wow, that price is staggering. I'm a hobbyist building for personal use and not a competitor of CHB in any way. I'd email him directly with the request but he hasn't provided a link on his website, just a snail mail address. Ken
Ken,
Drop me an email ([email protected]) and I'll put you in touch with him. Chris doesn't use plans for that cabinet, he works from general dimensions and he said he'd pass those along to you if that would help.
