Federal-style Card Table
Oct 24, 2012
Woodworker: Philip Houck
This card table is based on photographs from Albert Sack’s The Fine Points of Furniture (out of print) and overall dimensions found in Benjamin Hewitt’s The Work of Many Hands: Card Tables in Federal America, 1790-1820 (out of print). Houck worked more than 500 hours to complete the table, which is made of mahogany, holly, ebony. and pine. The finish is padded shellac.
