Project 2: The Corner Unit
A comprehensive colour guide detailing how to make a solid
wood corner unit.
The DIY furniture-making manual for the
corner unit is a comprehensive colour guide with step-by-step instructions,
detailing how to make this traditional piece of quality Scottish wooden
furniture.
The corner unit is one of the early
items that Allan Fyfe, proprietor of Lethenty Mill Furniture, started making 25
years ago. He found that this item of furniture could be easily constructed
easily from lining boards (or tongued and grooved boards) from the timber
merchants and the design allowed for shrinkage if the moisture content was fine.
The corner unit project therefore makes
a good design for woodworking beginners. There are no potential conflicts with
opposing grain direction if the wood shrinks. This makes it a good model for
subsequent designs. This project also provides practice with bow saw technique
and producing dados. |
