Mackintosh hall table
-
I saw this in a 2010 book titled Arts and Crafts Furniture Anyone Can Make, by David Theil.
His was simpler and had no drawer, and had been shortened and narrowed, as compared to the one he saw in this photograph, attached, of the table inside Charles Rennie's masterpiece Hill House.
Using about 20 board feet of lumber, plus whatever you might use for the drawer box and bottom, it should be an easy build.

Interesting piece, nice model.
Arts-and-Crafts furniture-maker Gregory Paolini did a somewhat similar piece for an article in Fine Woodworking magazine a couple of years ago. Here's a link:Best,

Nice table Gene.
David, I modified the plan for that table and my brother built it as a side table to go between two Morris chairs in his living room.

Dave,
Good to see that Greg Paolini's design can withstand some stretching and squeezing.

I kind of like this taller version better.

I'm afraid I got the discussion sidetracked from Gene's design. It's very interesting, and it shows how Mackintosh took the Arts & Crafts esthetic in a new direction. Gene's model looks to be very faithful to the original.
