New Hampshire Hexagonal Candlestand

Dunlop Brother’s 18th Century reproduction New Hampshire candlestand

Cherry and Tiger Maple

The Dunlap Brothers made unique furniture. This candlestand is a simple, and I think a beautiful, example. The top and base of the post are hexagonal.

The legs are joined to the post with pegged mortise and tenon, rather than the sliding dovetail used in other (eg, Shaker) furniture. The hexagonal portion of post was made on a tablesaw using technique described by Christian Becksvoort in FWW #85 (Cherry clothes tree).
